I should get my shields on the 23rd and the car back by Labor Day. I'll post some pics after I get it all together.

Thanks!!

Sounds like getting them straight from Jet-Hot is the best way to do it.

The coated heat shields are a great idea!! Look forward to your pictures when you get them installed!

"I agree but IMO the covers would look better if they were longer, maybe just behind the four into one back to where they turn out at the end. It would look more continuous and hide where they join together."


Maybe the vendors on this site should look into making these sidepipe covers.

Alex Fok (www.cobrastuff.com) has 36" long chrome covers for $200 + $10 shipping. I went with the 27" long ceramic ones at $190. Like I said, car should be back by Labor Day and I'll post pics.
