LOL, what timing. My homemade heatshield caught fire last night.

It is a shaped and riveted aluminium shield with a fibreglass coating. The resin caught fire.

I shut down and hit it with my fire extinguisher. No major damage.

I got my mani and turbo HPC coated and from what i understand the stuff just flakes off. Which sucks because i spent all that money for nothing
I would install the heatshield for piece of mind
So yes
I have seen first hand how HOT it gets under the hood of a Lovefab car
