This is mine. Dual layer aluminum sheets + superlon... almost completely shields the filter from the engine, since bonnet touches and presses down the superlon, and the underside is also sealed by superlon. :)

I made it by attaching superlon to a aluminum sheet using metal wires, then bending and folding superlon to fit the compartment. The other side of the shield has no aluminum...

good idea...so logically the heat won't reach the other side of heat shield when the bonnet is closed...nice ;)

Zeroed,

Jaywat: Hehe but messy la this way.

Khguan, yeah man had to adjust the mounting or the shield wouldnt fit in. My idling is much more stable after installing the VS, nice stuff man. :)
