Rather than adhering the insulation directly to the underside, I recommend that you cut and form a peice of aluminum or steel around the heat source. Then rivet the heat shield to that. Leave at least an inch air gap on each side of the plate.

As for myself, since I don't have access to a lift it's easier and less labor intensive to
pop off the center console and apply the insulation. It works too.

Its barely the start of summer and its so hot, a little heat shield all through out the cabin might be very cool.

I think dyna-mat also makes a material for heat purposes.

Yes, do a search for sound proof or dyna mat.
A guy in Orange County did his whole car but he used sound proof and not the heat resistant stuff. He did it under the carpets, trunk, and the roof too.
