Clean the area with alcohol. Once you cut the dynamat and are ready to apply, have a heat gun/hair dryer to heat the glue on the dynamat. If you don't have a roller use the round edge(handle of screw driver) to push the dynamat flat.
This might not stop the rattle as I had the same problem. Your gonna need to spray Great Stuff or something similar in the trunk to stop the rattle. I've learned to live with the rattle. I only care if it sounds good inside

As far as the license plate, you can cover the back of the license plate with dynamat.
Keep in mind this will make your trunk heavy. It won't spring up like it normally does. As far as total weight (full trunk), imho, i don't think it adds that much weight to the car to make any type of noticeable difference. If your in some type of time attack hard core track then yes, sure, but for DD, Valley and occasional track, i think better sound quality greatly out weighs the added "weight". You shave off more weight with some aftermarket exhausts then what you put on in dynamat. Just some food for thought...

5-10 lbs. isn't going to drastically change your car performance unless we're talking about un-sprung weight. I've added about 150 lbs onto my car so don't trip...
