Growing up in Newark, N.J. in a home shared by his parents, Mama, and a live-in tenant, J.R. McVey’s early years were not luxurious by any means. His neglectful mother and her golden child, his brother, made life difficult, but his hard-working father and kind Mama, his grandmother, graced him with the physical and emotional skills needed to make a name for himself. With their encouragement, J.R. enters the workforce at a young age, becoming one of the youngest construction managers in his teen years, working himself through college, and coming out with his degree in engineering. With the encouragement of his first girlfriend, and later his second wife, and his first wife, J.R. was able to build a legacy for himself and the following generations, giving them the childhood he never had.

 

Stories of his various youthful adventures, medical ailments, joining the Boy Scouts and becoming a Scout Leader, and meeting the two loves of his life, and grieving their loss, are abound in his rags-to-riches memoir, The P.A..

About the author:

J.R. McVey, Sr. is now in his eighties and retired from working in engineering and as a professor for a number of years. He currently resides in South Carolina.

Great sound mat for the price!
Style: 50 mil 50 SqFt, Style: 50 mil 50 SqFt
This is a good product. Many people go with KILMAT because of the value to price point. I did as well. When you clean the surface (in my case it was all painted metal) this stuff sticks very well. I do recommend you use a seam roller of some type, I used Lumiteco 3 piece roller set. This will help with adhesion and mostly flatten the overlapped edges. It also helps you see where you have rolled as it leaves little grooves. The difference when we had no sound mats and after was very impressive. We haven't finished our install yet and it is quieter than when we had an interior in the van. There are thicker mats available in other brands, but this will work great for our van build, but this helps keep the weight down. It is quality material, just be careful when you are removing the backing, the edge of the foil face can cut you. I suggest you layout where you are installing the mat and cut to fit. From what I have read, you don't need to cover every inch in the vehicle, just spot install for a big difference. I chose to cover most surfaces to help keep sound out when we are sleeping in the van. We haven't finished putting the van yet, but we have driven it around and been very satisfied with this product.

Excellent sound deadening mats
Style: 80 mil 36 sqft, Style: 80 mil 36 sqft
Purchased these for a 2020 Lexus RX350 due to the hollow sound of the car doors when shutting. They sounded cheap. The mats are super sticky and I applied them when the doors were hot from sitting in the sun. They alubutyl sticks like crazy and the end result was perfect. Now I have solid sounding doors. Good quality product.

Good deal for the price
Style: 80 mil 18 SqFt
The product is good and contrary to some comments I read it was not a mess to install and went on very nicely. That said I placed on a 71 Baracudda and starting from a 71db I was able to drop that down to about 66 with two layers Kilmatt 80mil
