Project sound insulation, Determined to get rid of some road noise Options

[GotToyota]

Alright guys, I decided to tackle a project similar to what a member on here did by getting rid of some noise with a carpeting material. I'm attempting the same thing, except with my door panels and rear panels. I went to Home Depot and bought a 6'x9' roll of carpet padding for $30, along with a can of 3M rubber and vinyl spray adhesive. I already tried to deaden the sound a bit by using some extra Dynamat I had, but it didn't help much at all. Spray the door panel on the areas where you will be placing the padding, then rip pieces to the size of your choice and place accordingly. WARNING: You might want to let these panels sit overnight, because the smell isn't too pleasant.

After I get everything finished I'll let you guys know how well this worked. I spent $40 in materials with tax, so it would be a pretty cheap solution to getting rid of some exterior road noise. Not the prettiest solution, but I feel it should help out greatly.

This probably a really noob question ... so my 97 SX has factory sound deadening already ? I pulled my back seats out to remove dog hair out of the seats (total nightmare ) and noticed it wasn't bare metal i was looking at. Will I technically be able to pull off this carpet padding project if i were to stick it on top of the 'factory sound deadening' ?
