I know this is getting old, but this was a goal of mine since I first read of the product here and read of how effective it is on our heat isssue in the cab of our C3's. I've compiled some before and after pictures from the install, which took about 4 hours (with lunch break and easy conversation)

VERY NICE... I did mine a few months ago. You will like it!

Looks great. Where did you buy the Reflectix and how much did you need?

Will you glue the carpeting to this?

Cool deal, looks good. I did the same thing when I replaced the carpet.

I bought the Reflectix at my local Lowe's Home Improvement. Also, I did a bit of checking and saw it for sale at Home Depot. I was able to do everything you see in the pictures with one 16" x 24" roll. Cost for the Reflectix, 3M Spray Adhesive, and Goop cleaning spray ect... was around $35.00.

How did you cut it? Put the roll in the car? Did you use the carpet as a template?

I did mine as well, have yet to drive the car to see the difference in heat.

Total Cost $30 ($25 for insulation, $5 interior adhesive)

What I did was cut 2 strips each 60" long...cut it off the roll with scissors. That length was just about perfect for the base floorboard from the topmost part of the firewall that I could reach to where the back wall meets the floorboard. I then cut another strip the same size and simply matched the edges from the floorboard strip next to the tranny tunnel and glued the stip against the tranny tunnel and press molded it as best I could up to and around the Parking Brake, Shifter and Radio. I used the other half of that piece that I cut to do the exact same thing to the other side of the tranny tunnel. Lastly with what I had left turned out to just be enough for the back wall...I think it was a 48" strip I cut and just cut and molded to back wall. Not hard at all easy stuff to work with, just was hotter than 2 mice doing it in a wool sock down here in South Lousiana, Good Luck

P.S. Definatly have a couple new Razor Blades ready for trimming and cutting while installing....works VERY well.

When I did mine I just cut it with a large pair of scissors. I used 3M spray adhesive to hold it in place in key spots and then again on the carpet set. I also left the rear comparment area alone, but I did put a layer over the transmission on the inside of the tunnel. By the way, you know that foam collar over the bell housing? Fixed my hot shifter problem!

Darn, seeing those pic's make me want to do mine to

Well w/ my side mount headers, I'm not too worried. But I didn't want to add any under the pedals b/c I wanted to make sure the throttle would open completely. Sure the pedal can be adjusted but I did't want the peddle to be too "touchy".
