How big of an improvement will I notice? Will the truck still rattle little bit? Is the Extreme trunk kit enough to do the job?
P.S: I am getting dynamat extreme trunk kit installed monday by a local audio shop. I already had the extreme door kit install when the did my system last week.

But it will make a hugh difference if they do a good job. If not it will still rattle.

i used Rammat60 on my WRX...and i went all out.
i did multiple layers in the doors, above the headliner, in the trunk, rear quarter panels, ect. it was an AMAZING difference. Road noise was decreased dramatically, and when other subaru guys would close the doors of my car they would flip out at how solid it sounded.
i could tap a quarter panel of another WRX and it sounded like a tin can, but mine was more of a thump sound.
no rattles at all...it was awesome, totaly worth the effort. The only place i got lazy about was the floorpan, and i bet that would have helped kill road noise even more.
and PTHermes is correct, get a little wooden roller. It will help the stuff stick better. If you're working on a warm sunny day let the mat sit out in the sun. As it warms the glue will get stickier and it becomes easier to work with. It's also better to have one large piece, versus 4 smaller pieces. Also, use something to clean the surfaces you are going to stick the mat too...it will help tremendously. You'd be surprised how much a little wipedown will do.
i've got like 1/2 a roll of the rammatt60 left i was going to use this weekend, hopefully it's enough to do my trunk to a level that i want.
and that picture that darknight put up...WOW. my wrx looked like a mess with all the mat in it when i was done, thank god for trim pieces. you must have a lot of experience to be able to pull of that clean a job, nice!
