Default How many have Bangkok Dean's heat shields?

How many here have Bangkok Dean's heat shields now that he has them on the market?

I just got Bangkok Dean's heat shields last Saturday and they work perfect. Not only do they look GREAT, they function great too.... after a 10 mile run, I reached down and touched them with my hand, they are NOT hot. So this really a good feature for when you take your wife or friends so they don't burn their legs. Good feature indeed! I'm a happy camper!

Thanks Jack I am happy to hear that you like the shields, being highly polished stainless steel they will stay new looking for years and will never rust. The added benefit of Stainless is they do work to minimize the heat. BTW your Vette looks great.

You have to have leather bal...... err, it mean legs to go with the stock Hookers We do tend to turn into "wussies" in our older years, don't we Dean

I still have them on the 69 vert, only because that is what my brother would have wanted. Used to have them on the Pre-RamJet, but opted for the fiberglass covers after I burned thru my leather (skin)

All it's going to take is one absent minded exit after spending an afternoon in the Shark Tank at one of our cruise-ins and I will be giving you a call, Dean

Thanks for chiming in I have said in many posts before that I love the looks of your car and along with many others here enjoy hearing from you.

BTW, it took nearly six months to get the GM license and having to send samples to them to get the approval, If you see a C3 over at the GM factory with neat Highly polished stainless steel heat shields on the side pipes let me know, I would like to know that the samples I sent were put to use by someone

Jack,
Your Vette looks sweet. I have never cared much for the black Hooker sidepipes, but with those S/S covers it looks really sharp. I think it just flows perfectly with your wheels, hood, and paint. NICE JOB!

Thanks for the compliments.

like Mr. Nasty said, they are Keystone Klassics I picked them as they complimented the Vette and I haven't seen ANY cars with them on here in the NW.
