Everything is still on the car that came on it from the factory...ie: heat shields, splash shields, no aftermarket body panels or bumpers. No the heat isnt on the a/c is on because I cant take the heat. It is comming from where your right leg lays against the transmission tunnel. The change in my ashtray is so hot I cant even touch it. I am so annoyed with this I dont even drive it to work anymore, because the ride home in traffic is unbareable. I read post a few years back about others having this problem just wondering if there was a solution. I am fed up with it.
