Message I do have the one that goes under the shifter area but my feet and right shin gets so hot it becomes annoying. I have a din pocket and I used to put my cell phone in it before, but now it gets so hot that my phone sometimes goes into thermal shutdown/safety mode.

The reason why I am asking now is I'm about to park my Z to install bigger turbos and I'll have a chance to modify it so I won't have to drive everywhere with the A/C on. I already ordered some heat wrap, the only problem is I don't think it will be effective enough- I looked up some tests and the temperature difference is there but it's small, I would prefer to just reflect the heat away from the bottom of the floor pan I just wanted some suggestions/pictures of solutions/ideas.

-I can buy the heat reflecting mats that have backing adhesive and stick it to the chassis
-I can (and probably will) heat wrap my test pipes and downpipes
-Fabricate some sort of heat shields ...... but where/how would I attach them? I don't want them loose under the car I would much rather put up with the heat over a rattle noise

gee it would sure be nice if one of our vendors made a super effective exhaust heat reflecting KIT I could just bolt on ;)

*disclaimer*: all that I say may be true or I may be completely wrong and I accept that.... please, it is your duty as another person on the internet to impolitely tell me how wrong I am :)
