I wonder if this is safe... I mean.. theres gonna be heat in there either way... now its just trapped down there instead of escaping through the cup holders... hrm... iono
i wanna see if the recall bit will cool down my cup holders first...

Well, so far, the cup holders are not that hot anymore, but still warm to my liking... Wonder if I should wrap the whole center panel in the Aluminium tape.
Anyone else want to do some modding, let me know. My next projects will be the grills for the oil cooler & an LED indicator for opened boot.

ThermoTec is okay but not great. It will block 90% of radiant heat which means the cup holders won't get as hot as they used to but drive long enough and they will get hot. Unfortunately I don't know of any products that are flexible and will guarantee 99%+ heat blockage.
I should update that DIY so people know it will help but won't totally cure the problem.
