#105225, "GI: PRIME-1 heat shield for HRC kit *new pics*" Apr-20-07 10:52 AM by rsprime1
OK heres the deal i've done a search on custom heat shields for the HRC turbo kits after a bit of reading and noticing that PPl w/ a HRC kit had the option to get some kind of a heat shield off a car that would fit around the compressor housing.
welll thats fine but not my cup of tea! i thinks looks MATTER!!! so i had an idea i've had my heat shield for a couple month now (i guess you can call it a prototype)i have had nothing but POSITIVE comments about the way my engine bay looks and the heat shield gets pointed out alot! my goal was to make my engine bay look as CLEAN as can be (not to say that HRC exhaust mani is shit cuz its not)
if you would be interested in even giving this product a chance just simply post +1...+2....ECT. and if enough ppl are interested i will start to produce the heat shields now the pics im showing you are not the best my heat shield was aluminum for a while but i change to a High temp gloss black. as soon as i can get a better camera i will take better pics
i know that the star kit have the heat shield mod they can do..and actually looks decent,i've personally seen one on a local 2gnt members car BUT!!!(yeah im talking about you todd) i will be prototyping a custom heatshield for the star kits too because they can look way better too, but for now i already have everything i need to start producing the HRC kits heatshields
if this dose not work out its ok i just thought i would try to help out the 2gnt comunity make there cars look better... viva 420A bitchs *eventhough i own a 2gGSX* i still enjoy driving my 420 car on 15psi daily \ also if i decide to start to make them they will be inexpensive. price is TBA
ok heres a list of shit i have done to my car maybe it will help build credibility(sp) for my self

so far only two ppl would be interested in a heatshield wow! what a tuff crowed remember this IS NOT OFFICIAL.. just post YES or NO thats it. i understand you guys want better pics befor buying but your not buying anything yet and these pics should be good enough to get an idea on how it looks.someone on this board made a good statment he said "at least it will hide the rusty mani" and that is very true. anyhow carry on

If those pics are better, I'd hate to see the old ones...
I'm not in love w/ how long the shield is (would prefer 1/2 length). My initial reaction was pitty for that poor radiator hose. Anyways, I am interested in it nonetheless.
Been passively searching for years... ...not gone shopping for a pot (yet) - J

I don't think you're going to drum up much interest with the info you've provided thus far, Leo. If you show up tonight at INO before 9pm, I might be able to snag some larger, higher quality pictures to better show what you've got. I've seen your engine bay and it's pretty sharp. Just don't know that a lot of people are going to be looking for a heat sheild based on such pictures.
