Default Made new Sidepipe shields

I have been working on an idea for side pipe heat covers for a couple of months and have the first ones done. I have wanted to get some heat protection for the pipes but never did like the cheese grader shields that were on the market. So these are polished 1.5 mm stainless steel laser cut with the Corvette name cut out. This is my first try and they look and work great. The next set in work will have Stingray script with crossed flags laser cut. What do you folks think?

Personalized heat shields (patent pending)

Very impressive! I have no doubt you could sell those. I'd consider buying a pair.

Outstanding! Let's not get too excited about finding a new independent supplier. Shipping those things from Thailand may be a challenge.

Those are incredible Dean. You should market them, only after you sell me a set at our CF discount.

Those look great.

You got a CNC lazer cutting machine sitting in your living room?

Dean,
those would be enough incentive for me to put sidepipes on my 78.
