old car... rubber door/window seals start to shrink n harden... replacing these will improve nvh a lot... also plastic clips will start to break or go missing, new clips to lock it back in place will reduce rattling noises... engine mounting already mentioned and is very important to reduce vibration...

autofoam can increase chassis stiffness improves handling but will makes the ride harsher, and it will reduce some ringing noise... but imho complete waste of money... this was a fad 30+ years ago... if so good, auto makers would have incorporated into car liao...

I see. For now NVH good. Nothing bad. Will focus on rubber seals first. My car spends most of its time underneath covered parking-only when driving will hit sunlight. So will focus on

1. 360 camera
2. leather seats

when you respray whole car is the time to think about replacing rubber seals... wink.gif do them together
