Thermal barriers for cabin - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I'm wondering what some of you may have done for thermal barriers in your cars. I have removed my AC in the name of weight reduction. The AC never worked very well anyways (would need it on HIGH for 15min to even break the heat off of you).

Car is in CAMC and full interior (without back seat) 95 Z28. I like to drive it a lot on the street and the heat is what will be a killer. Heat and interior cabin noise is a recipe for headaches (for me) after only 10min of driving. Plus my wife won't come with me anywhere (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and I like her so....I'd like for her not to complain.

SO, I've been looking around and it seems there are either tar-like material that are peel and stick, there are loose mats you lay down with foil backings and there are some you spray down. I'd prefer to avoid the spray on and peel/stick version since that crap gets messy.

Ideally I find some stuff I can put under my carpet that just lays there to help keep heat out.

Anyone have suggestions/products to look into? I assume some of you get hot on the road course.

Peel and Stick: Dynomat-ish products
Spray on: LizardSkin...Eastwood has a version as well
Loose mats: Not sure of the product being used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFIfnA08--g
