Bling! That should have took some time to massage the foil over the airbox, or is it a type of paint?

It is the stiff heat reflective Foil / Film.. I ended up making a lot of templates.. The bottom alone has 23 pieces.. :frown I am embarrassed to say how long it took... I quit counting the hours after 22...That's what happens when you an anal perfectionist.. :bored

Just out of curiosity, did you happen to take a 'before' temp reading inside the 'box when the engine was at operating temps so you could find out 'zackly by how much your Goldfinger project dropped that reading afterward?

Stormcat - have you considered applying the heat reflective foil/film to underside of the clamshell, a la McLaren F1?

Not sure you would gain much buy doing the CF clamshell liner but don't put any new Ideas in my head !! :biggrin:biggrin I think they were trying to protect something on the other side of the film on the F1. My Accfab X-Pipe exhaust is wrapped so I don't have a hot spot there..

Well ,, you're close Jack.. I'm originally from Iowa but the orange disk was part of the satellite outer space ensemble.. :biggrin:biggrin
