Default Heat Barrier Kit

Has anyone installed the heat barrier kit from corvette america? Is the rear piece necessary? I get alot of heat from the engine compartment & under the dash so I was wondering if this stuff works and is worth the money? Is it easy to install?

I went to Lowes and bought a roll of heat barrier for 25$ that did my whole car and it works great. Glued it down with the spray adhesive.

Whether you go with Reflectix (I did) or some other barrier, make sure you seal every hole and gap you can find from the engine compartment to the interior. That will make a world of difference.

I also bought a roll of heat barrier at Lowe's. That stuff works great. No heat and if you install it up in the back it cuts down on the sound from the exhaust. You can do three Vettes for what it'll cost for the Kit..
