Did you do this tonight after I was driving next to you on the 90 from the 400 to Walden at about 5:15ish???

What’s the main benefit of using Rhinoliner?

More info on the Rhino liner? Did you do it yourself or did someone have to spray it for you? How’s the cost on something like that?

It might damp out SOME sound, but it’s main function is longevity… I really don’t need to run carpet now…

rhino liner sounds like too much weight…i would have NO floor if it were up to me…you need a spot for your heels and thats IT.

the color is called “gnuman86rb26” its a one off color. honestly its just a color picked from a book of every paint color know to man lol. and i bet the “rhino liner” weighs less than the carpet.
