Rice Over Wheat said:I took my hood off, cleaned it with engine cleaner, then started looking at where to cut pieces for the heat shield. Because of the ribs, it looks like using factory plastic tabs to attach it is the way to go, however in that case you need a firm backing for the heat shield material to hold on to. I'm beginning to think just getting the $70 oem shield from the dealer is the way to go. There's just no good way I can think of to attach my roll of material without it looking like crap.
If this stuff has adhesive on the back just go down to Home Depot or a hardware store and look for a large sheet of thin high-density foam or plastic to stick it to. I'd try an experiment to see if the heat shield is strong enough to keep the backing from melting first.
