About to have the Whole Cab Dyna-Matted for Sound Deadening

Last week, when I had my security system/remote start, power locks and windows installed, I asked for the installer to line the inside of the doors with Dynamat, just because he had to take the doors apart anyway, and the cab of my truck is loud, loud, loud.

I was very impressed with how well that worked. From the outside of the truck, you can knock with your fist on the door panel, which sounds like a muted thud, and then knock on the front, fender/quarter panel, and it sounds like you're throwing a rock at a tin can inside of a damn hollow cave! The difference is astounding. He used Dynamat extreme, and he knows how to do it correctly.

So now, there's one little problem with the remote start that I won't go into, but I need to take it back to the installer to get it corrected, and I'm so hyped up about this sound deadening thing that I'm going to just leave it there and have the whole cab Dynamatted.

-Already in both Doors
-Front Firewall
-Under the Hood
-Cab Floor, under the carpet
-Rear Wall of the Cab
-Ceiling, "underneath" (on top of) the Headliner

All skinned in Dynamat Xtreme
Labor + Material = $450

I wouldn't attempt this by myself, for fear of screwing up the screw/clip/tab alignments on everything, messing up the wiring underneath the dash, returning the headliner to proper position, and cleaning up the back wall correctly after applying the Dynamat. Basically, I would only trust myself to do the hood. That's it. But to have a pro do this for $450? That's a no-brainer, and pretty soon my '78 K10 is going to sound like a Lexus on the inside!
