But the "problem" with bitumen strips(excluding the messy installation part and also the fact you'll need to take good care of installation as it's prone to fall off if not done properly), is that bitumen tend to deteriorate over time and loose their sound dampening properties. Would really getting some butyl-based material for sound dampening instead though. ;)

the thing is the bitumen really adds on huge number of weight if were to really stick from front firewall till the boot floor, doors and roof....

Well... as with most cases, you'll always have to sacrifice something for something better ;)
