Alright, I'm typing this on the computer, and then I'll add the pics from my phone. I suck at reviews, but I'll give it my best shot.

Customer Service:
The man I spoke to on the phone was very courteous and friendly. I asked him a few questions and he explained the answers in detail for me. I have nothing bad to say about this

Shipping:
It shipped the same day I called them, and arrived 3 days later. Everything was packed well, and the box included the GTmat, instructions with pictures, 2 GTmat stickers, and even a little roller. I thought the roller was a nice touch, and it made the job a lot easier than smoothing it all with your hands. I would have gotten tired of that pretty quickly. There was also a coupon in the box, if you like the product and you want to get some more then you can save $10 (I think that's what it was). Very pleased so far

Quality / Install:
I have to admit that I haven't had much experience with sound deadening material before, so I'm kind of a noob with this. But this stuff looks to be pretty good quality. It's got a little weight to it, but not too heavy. The adhesive side stuck well to the truck of the car and once on there was actually difficult to pull back off. It was my first time installing this kind of stuff so I honestly don't know if I did a good job, but I gave it my best. Feel free to critique my pics. The install seemed pretty straight forward, the stuff was pretty pliable and wasn't a PITA at all. I also heard people asking if there was a smell to it. This may sound stupid but I actually stuck it to my nose and didn't smell anything. Then, the next morning after the install I went back into my car and did a smell test. Nothing. I asked my wife to check it out. Nothing. Happy about this as well

Result:
Just with the 10sqft I can there's a noticeable difference. My exhaust is a little quieter, and the road noise is a little bit lower. I would think that if you got enough of the 80mil to do the whole trunk and the doors (50sqft?) sound would be reduced dramatically. I have also noticed slightly better bass response from my 12" Zenclosure in the back. I took a db measurment before I did this, but I haven't gotten to take one after so I don't know how the numbers have been affected. I'll probably be able to do that this sunday, then I'll post it up.

All in all for the money I believe this is a great product and a great value, and as soon as I get my components I'm going to be giving these guys a call back for some more of the 80mil. Thanks GTmat!

EDIT: on my phone now, here's the pics I took with my iPhone
