Painted Varis hood

I advise anyone who is running a tubular manifold and/or upgraded turbo to ceramic coat and heat wrap their manifold AND get a heat shield made. SpeedCircuit is fabricating me a heat shield to go over the manifold and I should have a bunch of DEI heat tape waiting on my doorstep when I get home later.
You don't want the gold one that a lot of people have. It will work, but the silver "cool tape" is much more effective. It withstands direct heat up to 400°F and 2000°F radiant heat.

Because the carbon fiber was cracking right above the tubular manifold due to the amount of heat my car produces. The body shop reinforced the cracks then painted it.

My car is at SpeedCircuit right now. They already put the heat tape on the underside of the hood and are mocking up a heat shield as we speak.
