Road noise, rubber floormats

[farside847]

Rubber mat:
Since I am going to be putting in new seats, I thought I would replace the
old and torn rubber floor mat. I decided to keep the rubber mat instead of carpet. It just feels better to me, like one big floor mat. Plus super easy to clean. I was looking around for a new mat and found them at all the vendors. Anyone have any quality issues I should be aware of? Are they all the same? It would be nice it they would also cover the floor under the seat, but I think they all have tails. Has anyone seen one that was full? The pic on Brothers looks full, but It is the same pic they use for all of the mats.

Road noise:
At the same time I should replace the padding and try to cut down on the road noise. What is the best stuff to use? The Jute padding, or something more high tech. Where does most of the noise come through - the floor, firewall, doors, glass?

I know allot of guys on here have done this and I am looking for some advise. Thanks!!!!!
