PDF template of my intake heat shield

Here is the much anticipated PDF template. Instructions are on the pdf. For it to work you need to print it from adobe acrobat (free reader on adobe's site) so that it tiles properly.

damians_intake_heat_sheild_template.pdf

and here is a flash 3d animation of what it looks like after construction:

Damn dude, you really go all out with this stuff huh? I was expecting a photo of a cardboard template all crushed up on the ground while you use a point-n-shoot to take the pic with you feet in it and everything

Nice Job!

Thanks Damian! You really went above and beyond with the template and the animation. I'm going to start working on my next weekend and your template will be a huge help. Excellent work.

damian, yeah, and it scoops air up from the gap between the radiator and throws it into the airbox hole (that you have to do yourself)

yep, thats a good way to do it too

I got mine from checker auto, it had glue inside it so it sticks really well...

Good job man. I might go out and rig one up. My friend has some CF and epoxy, so we might be able to make a CF one too.
