I just did this exercise and one tip is as you are installing the dash do not tighten down any of the screws untill all pieces are in place. You will need the wiggle room to get them all in right.

The storage compartment door assembly has been a tough item to fit in mine. I had to do lots of trimming. I would put the sill plates on before cutting the holes in the carpet for the seats.

If you're referring to the insulation/heat barrier that many people install under the carpet, Reflectix brand (#BP24025) from Lowe's or Home Depot represents the best bang for the buck IMO. One 2' x 25' roll is more than enough to do the whole car.
I used it, and this is how it came out.
