Default Wow!

You did an excellent job!
A lot of heat can come from the parking brake and shifter area so you might want to go there with the leftover stuff.
There should be a lower shifter boot, make sure it's good.

This is something I am considering, as much to reduce heat than noise. But, I don't want to spoil (and certainly not replace!) my nice, original carpets. Are the carpets stuck down, or just held in around the edges? If I can remove a side at a time carefully than I may look more seriously at some heat/sound deadening.....

On the door and as you mentioned, leave an opening for the hardware, linkage, drain holes and the lower access panel. A roller makes the job a whole lot easier.

i did the whole interior from top to bottom an front to back with kilmat and xmat from eastwood it has a added layer of closed cell foam. when i did the dual exhaust inside the car was like an echo chamber. now it’s nice an quiet. and a roller is recommended for proper insulation and was a huge help for me.

That looks AWESOME!

The sound proofing makes SUCH a difference. I just took mine for a drive after recently installing soundproofing. What a difference. Totally worth the effort!
