Lighter = Faster (N/A build thread #2)

Most of the body is back together but before I start putting the wiring back in I need to figure out a heat shielding solution. I removed all the sound and heat insulation material from the car. There's only bedliner, metal, and carpet between the underside of the car and the interior space. Fortunately the exhaust manifold is ceramic coated but I want to add something to the inside of transmission tunnel and passenger's side at minimum to shield heat away from the interior of the car. Does anyone have any experience or products they could recommend?

Did you already chuck the stock heat shielding sheet metal that runs under the trans tunnel/cat area? If not, I'd say just bolt those parts back in - it weighs very little and works well enough.
