Anyone have any experience with this insulated tunnel mat for C5's? Seems pricey. Is it hard to install and does it work? http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/ps-906-137-corvette-97-04-c5-koolheat-master.aspx Thanks, Ed Dont waste your money on these lavish Brands ; go to www.jcwhitney.com and get the 1/2" mat insulation that has one side with aluminum foil on it. You can get a 24' or a 48' roll of it very inexpensively. Its comes 4' wide. Ive used it on several cars and it really does the trick against heat gain as well as noise reduction. > Dont waste your money on these lavish Brands ; go to www.jcwhitney.com > and get the 1/2" mat insulation that has one side with aluminum foil on > it.

So how do you use it? Pull the carpet up and cut it to fit underneath? Does this make the carpet bulge? Ed Ed, The carpet will bulge a little but the reduced heat gain and noise level will be immediately noticable. What i do for the front , is, pull back the carpetting , measure, then cut exactly to the size of the space ; for the rear cargo area, the entire carpet comes out . Home depot also sells a simular product. It comes 24" x 10' or 48" x 10'. I think the smaller roll was $12.99 I was thinking of using it for my c5 as it gets so hot it almost burns your fingers if you stick them between the seat and the tunnel. > Anyone have any experience with this insulated tunnel mat for C5's?

REPLY: Wow...youre getting some serious heat coming in if its that hot. Id see if you can insulate the tunnel area as well ; i did that on my 1970 BB Vette , both inside and underneath for the tunnel area, and i cant feel any heat at all now. I put one in my car when I changed the exhaust. It bolts right up to the underside of the tunnel. I don't recall paying that much. Be careful with what and how you install do- it -yourself applications. > Anyone have any experience with this insulated tunnel mat for C5's? Seems > pricey.
