Let me start by saying that I have been driving for +-2 years without a cover. Without a cover, it does not get hot inside unless you are stationary, or open the windows. Opening the windows cancels out the vacuum that pulls out the hot air and makes the cabin extremely hot. I also don't have any insulation around my engine bay as you can see in my pics and my soft top with all its mechanisms have been deleted as I have a Zeintop. Without the cover, the car is extremely noisy inside which will certainly not be everyone's cup of tea.

It would not be fair for me to comment on noise as I am so a accustomed to driving in a noisy car, which is not for every one. In the short time before I cut my cover to do my mod, I drove the car with the cover on but without the insulation, soft top delete etc as mentioned, comparing that to now with the clear cover, there is no difference in terms or heat or sound IMHO.

The cut out on the left is for sound, it sit directly above my cone filter, so when removed it creates an awesome sound inside the cabin, well that's my opinion at least.
I'll post a few pics to show the steps of what I did.
