I've only found it at Home Depot...not at Lowe's. Again, at the heating/insulation department. It was made for insulation under crawl spaces and under manufactured homes. Also pick up a can of 3M spray adhesive and a roll of aluminum foil tape (not duct tape) to complete the job. Use just a little spray adhesive to stick the Reflectix down; then cover all joints with the tape. Make sure you get as high up the firewall as you can and under all the components on the tranny hump. That's a big source for cabin heat.
No need to do the storage compartment...at least because of heating problems. No heat there.
