Re: Heat sheild
they all ruin after time, they just start to fall apart. i just cut mine off from where it started to fray, so now it doesn't look as bad. but eventually, i'll just tear it all out. our engines don't produce that much heat to really merit a heat shield like that under the hood. i know guys with VR4s that have been running w/o their heat shield for a long time, no problem at all.
if your's isn't in pristine condition, i would tear it out. it only makes the engine bay look crappy if its all torn up and hanging down. i wouldn't worry about a new one, just a waste of money, and it would look even better w/o the heatshield in the first place.
