Besides, wouldn't all that rubberry texture compromise a clean, flat mounting surface? Also, wouldn't the coating squish and tear a bit once the corners of th ASR mounting brackets gets torqued down, exposing the metal anyway?
You actually have the same issue with standard paint. ANYWHERE that metal rubs metal or rubber, the paint will get worn off and or "squished" out. The Rubberized Undercoating Is simply a superior product for the job at hand I have seen vehicles lose almost 40% of the roadnoise simple by completely uncercoating a vehicle. However as I stated before, if you are going to be showing the vehicle or you just want it to look stock this isn't the stuff for you. But if you can stomach the uglyness of the paint you will find you are MUCH happier with the overall job.
