Great stuff! A thought came to mind about the carpet you found being faded too badly for use. I've had good success in the past dying carpet, especially if the original color is the same as you need to dye it. Hang the carpet over a fence and pressure wash it, not too much pressure that it will ruin, but just enough to clean it real good. Obviously make certain all the pad/sound deadener is remove if it sticks to the back of the carpet. Let it sun dry for a few days then lay it out and vacuum. Once you have it to where you can apply a spray dye made specifically for material/carpet (I think Scotsguard makes one), brush all nap in one direction, spray on dye per instructions. Then brush the nap the opposite way and re-spray. Allow to dry as per instructions on the can, vacuum, brush, spot light areas and allow to dry if needed before installation.

I think the reason one of the armrests doesn't have an ashtray "could" be because one is not needed on the drivers door? It would be kind of hard to use while driving and the one on the dash is more safe/convenient.
