Thumbs up Heatshield - should I polish it?
I have had several pieces in my engine bay polished/chromed. Next weekend I am installing a Koyo radiator, which has a mirror polish. Next February-March I will be purchasing a CTSC, which also has a mirror polish. I am thinking about polishing the heatshield that goes in between the engine and the battery. Here are a few pics of my engine bay:







Do you think polishing the heatshield would be too much?

I don't believe either one of those heatshields are compatible with my Toda header.
