Question Exhaust Tip Heat Shield..Where can I get them ?

As you can see I have a wide body kit on my 7 but I need some heat shields to protect my rear bumper body panel from the hot muffler tips and flames.

I have looked on ebay but cant find where to buy them...

Anybody have any ideas ?

Make one out of sheet aluminum, rivet into place.

I would love to see some info on this, or try to get someone to make them as a test for a future product, my bumper is getting crispy.

We made one for my friends MK1 rabbit, we just took a square of sheet aluminum, cut semicircles out of it for the tips (dual), and used a hammer and an anvil (deadblow hammer and a vise) to bend it into the shape of the body. Sadly, we never installed it, because he re-did his exhaust.

The only one I have is of the tips, but you can use your imagination to see where the panel would go. The plate was the same height as the rocker panel, followed the contour of the rocker panel, and the tips stuck through it.
