C5 insulation kits
Hi guys, looking to hear from anybody that did the entire interior or just the front area...how much of a difference did the mod really make? and how worthwhile would you say the mod was for you? thanks for any feedback. Any other benefits that maybe haveant been mentioned by others? thanks!!

I had a leak issue so while I had the entire interior taken out, including the dashboard I insulated but....I didn't use one of those per-cut kits available through vendors here. What I did was go to Home depot and purchased 5 rolls of self adhesive Duct Insulation that's foil faced.

Did the entire interior and it made one hell of a difference in temperature reduction. I went one step further and purchased a Ceramic Coated / Insulated Torque Tube Tunnel Plate from Elite Engineering. Between those 2 mods it made a world of difference with
interior temps !

But once the interior is gutted and all it should be pretty straight forward and easy enough to do. Great idea on using the duct insulation...sounds like a spring project for this guy right here.
