Hi guys. I'm new. I have just finished SPF2828 and have been on the road only 2 months. It gets really hot in the drivers footwell, especially on long trips. Is that normal or can you do something about that?

"gaslight this fact"? It's either fact or it's gaslighting. Gaslighting is typically used to convince people that something is true - when it's not.

Regardless, others have pointed out the facts that: 1) aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat; 2) undercar exhaust passes right under footbox; and 3) reviewer isn't wearing shoes.

Solutions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• wearing shoes
• adding insulation (see here: http://www.kirkhammotorsports.com/book_aoe/aoe_08.pdf)
• improving footbox ventilation (e.g. ducting, blower)
• replace the aluminum panel with a material with lower thermal conductivity (e.g. stainless steel)
