Get a life? Whatever dude, show me where I was bashing you. You need thicker skin, it's a useless mod except for bling, correct? Am I the only person who stated that in this thread? Was I even the first person to state that in this thread? The answer to both of those would be NO! So the sticker is a joke, which is exactly what my comments were.
Do a search and find me all the posts where I bashed you and we can take it one on one and see.

The OEM heatshield prevents excessive temperature emitted from the exhaust manifold heating up the brake and clutch cylinders for RHDs. ARC initially made one for the RHD to further reinforce that for some reason or the other (Much like their failed intake design for the AP1.
In reality, it never did become a popular replacement/modified item because in doing that. They actually created a bigger problem of heatsoak thanks to the "metallic constructed box" covering everything that prevented proper airflow to ventilation.
Mugen instead took a better step at. Coming up with a wind-tunnel developed vented CF bonnet that effectively removed heat and soaring temperatures under severe racing conditions along with weight reduction and accomodating their intake system.
