and this one which only has a 4.5, but looks much cleaner

was my first pick but then i seen what it looked like installed. and im picky about looks, probably going to cut some plastic panels to install over it or something.

this should work, its a foil type thing and says there is a option to tape it on, which im guessing should work on a wooden door. think that one has a r-value of 6

anyone happen to know how much weight i should be able to add to my garage door without having to adjust or getting new torsion springs? right now it only has one spring on it but i dont know the rating. ive decided that after i get the insulation kit in im going to cut some FRP fiberglass panels to put in ontop of it so it looks better. only problem is it will take 4 4'x8'x.090" panels which come out to weighing an extra 84 pounds or so.
