You're correct, two layers. On the interior facing side of the outer door metal, and on the interior side of the inner door metal. I can't stress how big a difference this made.
I put dampening over nearly every surface in the hatch area, but have yet to add any in the passenger area (aside from the doors). I still have quite a few square feet left over.

Cut my rear springs to fix some of the ride height I gained when removing the IMA system. Rear was up almost an inch and a half, and taking 1/3 of a coil off brought it down about 3/4". I'm unsure if I want to take a little more off, or just leave the rear a hair high since I have extra cargo capacity now.
While I was at it, I treated their surface rust and gave them some underbody coating.

If this is the "rough idea" I gotta remember not to let you see the stripped back of my Civic. Yeesh, it's embarrassing. Mine is a daily that I have to build on a shoestring budget since the point is saving cashflow and avoiding depreciation losses.
Anyway... looking good, hey.

I don't discriminate. 
At home I have chickens in my living room and I sleep with my head about 18 inches from my soldering iron. I'm just having fun with this. |

Nice work. Maybe I should vacuum out the back of my Dasher.
