Carbon exhaust heat shield opinion wanted




It looks and fits good but the mounting screw looks kind of bad IMO do you guys think it looks alright? I'll probly get a black mounting screw from hardware or something. I mounted 4 from the bottom that are not visable and the one on the out side keeps it from hanging off and looking really bad.


Any input is welcome.

i didnt need any bolts on the outside for mine, and fits perfect just using the ones on the bottom.


did you put a little pressure on the bottom part of the shield before drilling? pushing it all the way to the back........ is the only way to get a tight fit

You could use a rivet, it might look cleaner.

I have the same shield. Mine came with double stick tape but it stuck out a little bit right where your screw is.

What I did was I used 5 screws. They're not need but it makes it look better. This is the best pic I have of it right now

the 5 screws looks good. but the black screw would be pretty hard to notice.
