I bought a gallon of lizard skin which was plenty to coat the floor boards, transmission tunnel, master cylinder cover, and panels in front of the differential. I rolled my layers on with small foam rollers. They advise spraying it but I didn't have a spray gun that I thought could handle it. The rolling actually left a fairly uniform stippled pattern that looks fine - kind of like undercoating.
I can't locate my receipt on the B-Quiet but I bought 2 rolls that I believe have 50 sf each. One roll easily did the interior including under the carpet on the doors. I'm planning to apply it to the floor of the trunk before carpet to deaden any vibration and tinniness from the large aluminum panels and I think I will have to open the 2nd roll to complete that.
I ordered 2 rolls of the EZ cool which are 4' x 10' each. It took about a fourth of the second roll to finish the interior. That included the upper inside surface of the foot boxes and the entire interior side of the firewall. I will use what's left to line the trunk under the carpet. If it wasn't so lightweight I might skip it in the trunk but on the sides the tailpipes will be laying close to the vertical trunk panels so a little insulation can't hurt.
I taped the joints with aluminum tape and I especially recommend that if you use the B-Quiet. The mastic is very sticky and would get alll over my hands everytime I placed a hand on a joint. It's one vibration pad material that sticks like mad to anything - you don't have to work about it coming loose. The EZ Cool is foil lined on both surfaces. I used brushed on contact cement to install it.
I probably went overboard a little but I think the car will feel and sound nice and solid and I shouldn't get a lot of heat into the interior. I may end up with one of the heavier ERAs around.

I'll add that I choose not to apply the B-Quiet material in the footboxes since they already had the ERA Frost King insulation on their outside.
