my music sounds shocking outside the car because of the boot rattle.. but nice to MY ears (probably not the standards of any of u guys but still..its for me and i dont do any comps etc.) .

Now i dont care about ppl outside the car, if they listen to it or not, its not gonna get another person in bed with me, but i'd like it to be decent quality... ie no boot rattling

is there any type of REMOVABLE method i can use? cos im gonna give this car to my sister in about a years time, and buy a new one, + parents will chip in etc. but i want to give it to her ...like a proper car

she doesnt want all this 'crap' (its not crap!) in it.

is there any such products? that paint on tar stuff is outta the question obviously... how bout just sticking on brown bread? or does it have to be stuck on real nicely ?

my budget for this is around $50 too ... (i know its not much :~( )

thanks guys

dude i dont think you are going to get a removeable sound deadner. anyway you mightas well leave the sound d. in the car as carefull placment will make the car seem quieter on the inside which is always a good thing
now i bought some sound d. tar base mat from a local paint shop for 28 bucks asheet i got 2 sheets that was enough to do both front doors and my boot it works a treat.
its 5 mill thick so its thicker than brown bread and eq. to stinger road kill pro! and 13 of the price
leave it in the car your sister will love ya for it!

Depends on what areas are rattling the most, and what you're trying to achieve exactly.

Firstly, eliminate/reduce the rattle coming from your number plate by placing some foam or rubber underneath it. This obviously won't be visible if you give the car to your sister.

Sound deadening works by adding mass to parts that are vibrating in your car. Therefore, loosely applying sound deadener so it's easier to later take off, is quite pointless. Perhaps look at getting sound absorbing rubber or underlay they use in cars. You could put this under your carpet in the boot, and then easily take it out at a later date.

With the actual bootlid itself, i found putting silicon inbetween the bracing can help significantly. If you take your time applying it, it shouldn't be very evident to the naked eye.

Hope some of the tips helped.
