GHETO-MAT: Where to Buy/Install (A cheap Dynamat substitute)

I like to thank Kris (01on20s) for this info.
I learned this from Kris back at the Houston BBQ meet last month. Basically Gheto-mat is made out of the same material used in the more expensive version, Dynamat. Same tar adhesive, same foil material. Proteco-wrap as it is called, uses a thinner foil material (a hair thinner than dynamat) but it's priced much cheaper than it's leading competitor. Depending where you live, gheto-mat/protecto-wrap is sold in Home Depot or any other hardware store

All you need is

Protecto-Wrap $16 per roll (I had to use 4 rolls or $64 to wrap entire car)
Scissor

Had to use 2 layers on the trunk

Back seat

Door molding (all 4)

With the 4 rolls, it was enough to wrap the dash, c-pillars, center pillar, rear pillars, door sills, glove compartment, and the center console.

For $64 dollars it ain't so bad 8)

you can also buy a giant roll of ice and water shield in the roofing section for like 50 bucks.

Exactly, marketing is a spoof these days all they have to do buy materials everyone sees at a hardware shop and put their company logo and sell it more than its worth. Surely, what else could someone spend their $600 buxs on dynamat or cut throat hardware material?

no more rattle??? and is the car much quiter?????

its gonna be a bitch getting to that fuel pump if you ever need to take it out for some reason! :wink:

Thanks for the tip.

by the way
The trunk would look a lot better if your were to cover the new insulation with matching carpet.

Thanks again.

this would be perfect thanx for the heads up...

***On a side note***

Applying 2 layer of that stuff on the trunk WILL NOT reduce the rattle all the way. If you want the trunk to withstand higher decibles try matting the back licence frame, trunk hinges, and the Trunk "hollow spot". I also removed the carpet trim and applied a layer for added support. Definitely lot quiet and the 4 rolls covers it all.

ok hahaah man shhhhhhhhhhh dont give away my secret hahahahahaa


anyazes i have no rattle in my car and i had 4 15s in my trunk i think i used about 3 layers but if done right will be no rattle also take plate off and put 1 layer on back of plate and make sure u get up in those side panels means take all the carpet out that trunk and get it on there good and do both sides of the deck u will be straight trust me i knwo and


u are all welcome for the cheap dyno mat tip hahaha i got some other tips to ill get them on here asap

I have been using this stuff for years.

Boy am I glad I never bought Dynamat...I think I"ll get a roll or two and do my trunk in the near future.

G-spot, are those Infinity's I see? I approve! :thumbsup:

we did my car when gspot came down here. i must say, works like a charm.

That stuff I gave you isn't the ghetto mat. It was an insulation add-on for the ghettomat. I have a half roll left might finish it off this weekend perhaps?

Like I said before, depends on the region you live in, it's how much rain you recieve is what the suppliers are looking for. Places like Dallas, for example, don't recieve much rain right now, doesn't need the space to supply such items where places like Houston gets inches of rain everyday, are more likely customers.

Also look for Peel-n-Seal
