Hot interior ...
Ive been driving my car around & I noticed that after a few hours of normal driving, the center console/tunnel would begin to get warm by my leg. I just wanted to know if this was something to worry about or not.

I may be wrong, but it feels like heat radiating from the transmission tunnel.

Yeah, what he said^^^
Heat insulating sheets would be a good idea to remedy this problem.

Dynomat makes a heat/sound barrier mat that works great. I had some installed on a couple of my s13's, and have plans to install it on my SC..its a bit pricey, but cuts interior temps drastically.
