I insulated the entire roof and floor in my escort, primarily for sound deadening purposes. An added bonus is it keeps it from getting near as hot inside in the summertime while baking in a parking lot. And it is MUCH less expensive than dynamat.
Just as a side note, I would like to get it in much larger sheets to accommodate the large, semi-flat potions inside the engine bay, so I searched and came up with this: 36" x 33 ½' for $135.86 including S&H
If my math serves me correctly, that is 12.5 square feet for the 6" x 25' at $1.01/sq. ft. and 100.5 square feet for the 36" x 33 ½' at $1.35/sq. ft.

Just in case someone wanted to get it shipped to them...
