Transmission tunnel insulation?

As most of you have experienced the FD is notorious for cooking you alive while you drive. One of the worst heat entry problem is the transmission tunnel AKA the shifter panel.
Although i have a few ideas on how to tackle this issue,I would like to know what some of you have done to keep the heat out of the cabin.

"Self Adhesive GOLD Reflective Heat Barrier Film"

More options:: The "Floor & Tunnel Shield - Heat & Sound Insulation" I hear provides good sound barrier too.

A good read about "GOLD" reflective heat barrier film. I ordered the silver stuff recommended by one of the posters.
