I bought the lizard skin kit and sprayed it on the floorpans and on the rear deck of my targa. I sprayed it on to their suggested thickness, i think 2-3 coats in most places.
I removed the factory asphalt from the floorpans, as well as the heavy sound pad under the rear deck. I also removed the carpet from the back seat area and the longitudinals.
I had removed the engine compartment sound pad years ago, so that was not part of my comparison.
I would definitely say that the noise level is higher with the lizard skin. In retrospect, i would need several more coats to reach the same mass as the asphalt mats i took out. I will say that it is nice and durable (I topcoated with some satin black 2k epoxy). I should have sprayed their heat coating, as the heat transfer to the passenger compartment is now quite a bit higher.
Aside from all the prep work to remove the old adhesive, the application was very easy, and it is nice being able to coat any curved surfaces.
Doing it again, i would probably apply some dynamat to flat panels, then spray over the top of everything with both lizard skin coatings.
