I just got my tax cert in the mail...unfortunatly its still going to be about a month before i become a sponser on this site. also the website isnt done yet...i should say i we havent even started working on it yet (Fail..lol). Iv been trying to get a photo shoot togather with a few local tc's to show off the parts. If anyone would like to be a part of the photo shoot pm me.

Got it on Chris! Thanks man! It definitely made me smile when I put it on! Looks a hell of a lot better than a burnt hood liner too! lol!

Pic of my stock motor for you. I still haven't mustered up enough motivation to tear this thing down yet. Motivation to work on my car has been loooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. It took me weeks to mustard up enough motivation and energy to redo my suede interior. I got it done though. Thanks for the heat shield though Chris! It is amazing!
Chris, everything was delivered as promised!! I need to go to the PO to pick them up though since I was out of town when they came. With hope I can have the heat shield installed tomorrow and shoot you some pics, i'm going to try to find the stock holes now that I see Kevin's pic, I can try to find them using a pen.
I have my Mishimoto rad shroud coming this week as well....I really don't want to pull off my exhaust manifold to put it on so with hope I can put it on without taking off anything....if not i'm just going to let P-tuning do it when I go there next week.

yeah kev that heatshield looks sick on your car bro, im likeing that design even more now....lol...good job on the polishing btw.
Chris i could work a deal with ya on that head gasket i think...i know that those gaskets arent cheep so id work something out. pm me
Curtis the holes are predrilled on the heatsheild so hopefully it wont be too hard to find the stock holes, if not then drill new ones to make it easier on yourself just make sure you drill into the supports and not the hood itself....lol.

The heat shield is mirror-like! I the camera doesn't do justice! Are you going to offer pre-polished heat shields or coated ones perhaps? Or will it be just at the buyers discretion on how to coat it?

i offer quit a bit of coatings aswell as polish. you can have painted, brushed, sanded, semi-polish, polished, chrome plate. And if you can think of anything to put on it ill look into offering it.
I couldn't get the heatshield to stay up with the tabs I bought chris. It fell down and got scratched on the plastic valve cover studs. I think I'll have to hit it with some 800 to get the scratches out. I tried going to pep boys and finding the screw plastic tabs but i had no luck. Do you have a link to show me what I should be looking for?

they look like those plastic rivits that hold your fender liner in but they are longer and has a philips head. to install em you just push em in but to get em off you treat it like a screw.
