If you don't mind me asking, how much time &amp; $$$ for just the Dynamat?

How much difference in road noise did the mat make? Wish you had taken sound meter readings.

...very hard on the back.

In addition was another hour we lost not having the right tool in getting the frozen bolts out for the rear seatbacks.

$$ factor is ~$4 per square foot, and there's ~36 square feet there.

...and the rear seats folded down. I heard every tiny pebble kicking up inside the wheel well, and under the car.

I repeated the process after the install...definitely worth the time, and I'm not done yet.
