Looking good! You cannot believe the difference this made on mine. Additionally, I put it on the outside of the footwells, and inside the tunnel as well. Now, my only real heat problem is that on long drives (2+ hours) in the NorCal Summer, my shifter gets almost too hot to touch! I have the foam collar above the bell housing, but I often wonder if it would be better to go ahead and remove it to allow some airflow past that shifter!

Do you glue it down or just form it in place? This sure beats the $100 preformed insulation from the catalog.
