I'm installing GTMAT right now on my FRS. 25ft^2 of GTMAT Ultra (80mil) cost me $60 shipped & no tax from Amazon.[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008L3ZRZQ/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]link[/ame] The kit also comes with a little roller than really helps with installation (you need to buy it separate with Dynamat - another $15).
The 25ft^2 should be enough to make a difference.... installed in the two doors, the trunk lid, and some light use under the spare tire... it really all depends on how much weight you want to add to a light sports car. For the doors, I have about 30% coverage on the outer skin, and 30% coverage on the inner skin (focused around the 6.5" woofer). Websites on this stuff says the important thing (besides eliminating rattles) is to separate the air from the front of the woofer from the air behind the speaker. That's why I bought some "For Rent" signs and duct-taped the few holes that exist on the inner skin. I'm still looking for something similar to Dynaliner for between the inner skin and the door card. Be careful not to overdo the trunk liner or else the auto trunk release may not open the trunk cause its too heavy. Make sure you also take care of the rear license plate/frame cause that is a very common source of rattles.
Here's a "work-in-progress" photo from Saturday.... I can post some more of the finished product later.
