Default Side pipe heat shields

So I have pieced together a set of sidepipes and now I am looking at some heat shields to protect my girlfriends legs. I love the steel shields but price-wise I can't afford them right now.

I have seen the cobrastuff cheese graters, anyone have these? Opinions? Pictures?

Is there any other option?

I have the Cobrastuff heat shield in 29" length. No issues. I got coated ones to match my pipes.

I have the cubrastuff ones on my 78' . They look good to me, but it's up you and your own personal taste. My wife got a very bad burn from my bare pipes so you will want to do something quickly before your girlfriend gets burned. The pipes get HOT.

Got custom satinless steel ones from Bangkok Dean and love them. He also has pre-made ones that look great. Plus he's a forum member.

Those look great, how do they work? Do they still get hot enough to burn bare skin? Best place to buy them?
