Yayyyyyy!!!! I was starting to think you forgot! Does it still have the cool heat reflective silver stuff on the bottom? And the cool hex shaped standoffs for mounting?

You need to get some ReSpeed merchandise on the website sometime too! Some hats or t-shirts or something. I bet people would like to brag about what they've got under the car.

Yes it comes with everything like the other one does . I didn't forget, just laser cutting guys were killing me.

I'll see what I can do about the apparel.

I placed an order for one of these heat shields on June 23rd, and just wondered if it has shipped yet? Can you give me a status update? Thanks!

I definitely need it because I'm not using the black plastic carb spacer that came stock on the 12A cars. The header on my car would probably boil the fuel in the float bowls without something in between there to deflect the heat. In the past though, I have even used it on cars that still have the black plastic carb shield in place. It really does make a difference. It helps reflect some of that heat away from the intake and carb, and helps reduce the heat soak effect.

I like it... but there's no way it'll fit over a TR, is there?

Anyone got a good installed pic with the stock manifold, so I can try to judge clearance?

Yours has already been shipped out, we're still playing catch up with out mail strike/ lockout currently so things are still a bit delayed. The strike didn't resume till the 28th of the month IIRC.
