A couple of us has put similar stuff into our cars this year.

Stewart did his in March:

I did mine in April:

We both used "Second Skin" products ( https://www.secondskinaudio.com/index.php ). It went in easy, it's reduced the heat on my feet, it makes the car feel more solid over all, and costs a fraction of what "Dynamat" costs. There's no smell after installing this stuff either. 40sqft covered everything from the fire wall to the rear bulkhead. I also applied foil backed felt insulation to the transmission tunnel and foot well carpet. Since I still have left over felt, I'm going to apply it to the horizontal portion of the fire wall, and to the under dash liners when I get a new set.
 
thanks! Eventually, I'm going to get a leather kit from Prestige Autotrim.
