Here is a quote from the Automotion catalog

"924, 944 Protect your hood paint by installing our Thermo-Acoustic Mat. Its
silver mylar layer reflects heat away from the hood. It lasts longer and
looks better than crumbly Factory 'waffle' mats."

The kit is $89 but of course is't for a Porsche.
Just some more info....Matt
