I have used a silvered Mylar "quilted" material on several cars with
good results. It is two layers of Mylar that have air trapped
in-between them in about 1/4 diamonds. It is bright silver on both
sides. I bought it at the local Orchard Supply Store several years
ago. Orchard is out of business but I expect that any "Real" hardware
store would have it.
It is nice as it will not absorb oil (I install it on the transmission
side of the tunnel). I usually fit it to a new plastic transmission
tunnel prior to installation on the car so the surface is dry and
clean. I use contact cement and cut a couple of pieces to fit the
various contours of the tunnel. The foil on my TR4 has been in place
over 20 years now with no issues including no complaints from my wife.
I also under-felt beneath the carpet throughout the interior. It is a
good quality carpet as well.
