Here you go.
That is for the bottom seat mounts to to hide the metal mounts. Front mounts on seats.
These look like your hush panels under your legs when your in the car. Bottom of dash.
This is for your door panel behind the door handle

I have no clue about this. Maybe battery hold down?
No clue on the rest

Mike,
Thank you so much for taking the time to ID those parts. I think you are right on the battery hold down since there is a brand new battery in the car and the cruise control canister is just sitting on top of battery and the brace that bols to the frame and the hood latch is not bolted either.
Thanks again,
Bill

Agreed...It's used to secure the transmission tunnel carpet so it won't interfere with the go pedal.
Not sure what the inner seat adjuster cover(s) would be. They also look similar to the lock retainers for the rear hatch bins. But you're probably right.

Went thru my box of pieces today.
I was wrong guessing the longer pieces (pictured above) were window sweeps. They aren't. They are tracks for the rear compartment privacy shade. They mount inside/under the rear coupe (side) trim pieces. Right below the hatch supports, there will also be a "catch" piece to hold the shade in it's extended position.
You will find the mounting points below/back of the visible trim pieces. They mount with tapered screws.
I'm sure the smaller, box-like pieces sit in the door handles.
