Yes, very nice job there, Revjunky!
After a near disaster I finished the passenger side door today. What a feeling of accomplishment! Sometimes when you put too much effort into a project, you lose interest in the end result. My car will "sound better" now only because I poured so many hours into it. Plus I didn't measure beforehand (how do you measure vibration?) so who knows.
Sorry but I don't have a digital camera so I can't post any pictures. My results look very much like Revjunky's except his looks neater.
The only difference is I cut and fitted a piece of aluminum into the large gap behind the (door handle and lock) rods. What a pain that was! That's where I had my near disaster. Maybe it wasn't worth it but it's done now, at least for one side. I'm thinking the aluminum sheet might help stabilize the rods. It also gives the dynamat that covers the gap something to stick to.
Now quickly on to the driver's door. Someone please tell me it's easier the second time around.

There is a more cost efficient version of Dynamat. It's called Raam mat. You can get a whole roll of it for $100. I purchased it off Ebay after hearing good review after good review about it. That roll will probably do a couple of vehicles.
If some of you are interested in getting some RAAMMAT i can ask him if he can do a groupbuy of some sort.
i have been noticing quite a few people on here are interested in sound deadening.

For comparson cover one door and not the other and move the signal L to R when playing a mono signal to see if you can hear a diff.
For an enclosed car it works nice, but come on folks this is a convertible and the wind noise alone will be far greater than any little gain you get from spending $50 to treat the doors

Here is the link to my install https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=309858 I can't tell you how it sounds without the Dynamat but with it my MB Quarts sound very crisp and tight with very good bass response and NO rattling.

Rick, owner of RAAMmat, is a great guy to deal with.
