Denis, I think you are going to have trouble trying to find sound deadening material that doesn't have writing & an aluminized finish. I bought some paint on/spray on (can't remember the brand) sound deadening stuff and put it on the inside of my car. It has some micro-balls in it that supposedly converts the sound energy to heat to dampen it. Something like that could be sprayed black & look similar. Unfortunately since I don't have the car finished, I can't comment on how well it works. Maybe somebody else will chime in. As for the POS kit you bought, you'd probably be better off cutting out the backing pieces from upholstery board or plastic sheet yourself and having them upholstered. Fun, Fun.
