wow 15 sq feet GTMAT Quadro Pro didn't go very far!!!

Upon advice from others, decided to tackle the rear trunk area first.

Before:



After:



Did whole sheets around the shock towers in hopes that it will reduce some of the freakin tire noise! Also did the back section not seen in the photos, but I'm positive that's where a lot of the exhaust noise comes from. Instead of doing the blanket cosmetic approach, I tried this time by focusing on areas that actually needed it as it's not a Ferrari/Bugatti/etc.

What shocked me most was just banging around and realizing that there are so many areas where it's simply tinny metal!!!!

So far I can tell an immediate difference just re-parking the car back into the garage!

Question:

I noticed there's a gap in the fender area that you can fit your hand in quite a ways on the drivers side, and not so much on the passenger side. Has anyone tried any sort of expanding foam sound deadener in these two particular places?

Will order some more and not sure if I should do that small area where people put their aftermarket amps, or if the doors would should take priority?

Appreciate everyone advice on this! I'm late to the party however, 3.5 years of ownership and just now doing this...
