I have stock starter with ceramic coated headers
Have had for years. I had ordered a generic chevy starter shield ages ago and put off installing it for years. Still no problems, but one day I was under there so I installed it. I had to tweak it to fit, so you're probably better off fabricating as shown in post above to begin with.
Anyway, no problems for years.

you would have to think that most of the damaging heat comes it idle while stopped.i never ir gunned it but believe that the shield deflects enough of the heat to help the starter and the solenoid.good point though about the solenoid needing protection as well.
