Default road noise on civic coupé

when i drive my civic coupé 94 in rain, there is too much road noise i think...

you wanna quiet it up, then get some sort of dyna mat type material, start removing panels and slapping that **** all over the place, get silly with it.

actually i have been looking at dynamat, but i can't find anything for outside?
i think it is tricky to sound dead on the inside?

What do you mean dynamat the outside? Thats funny. Its really difficult to get a Civic as quiet as a Lexus, you can get almost there with a bit of work. You'll need to remove most of your interior panels and start sticking sound deadener to any metal surface you can reach like the floor board and doors. Remove your headliner and add some to your underside of your roof too. Stuff some insolation in open cavities in the rear and that should quiet the car down a pretty good amount. But to get rid of every single little noise in a Civic is near impossible.

dynamat inside, spray on undercoating outside will help a little. imo i would just deal with it. its not a big deal. just my opinion tho

yeah i noticed my civic is pretty noisy around the rear, i hear the suspension and tires alot. never really tried to figure it out, figured maybe cheap tires combined with poly trailing arm bushings, aftermarket suspension, old bushings it was normal.

i think i will start with some Dinitrol corrosion protection on the outside, it should be sound deadning...
and next will be dynamat in the hole trunk i think...
hopefully that will help
