    I'm having a Gruppe M air box installed in my 360 Spider.

    The kit comes with a steel heat shield and I was thinking about having it either gold plated, gold coloured ZircoFlex or gold foil stuck to it.

    What do you all think?

    If you have time, I would have the heat shield ceramic coated. Then possibly cover the hot side with foil gold tape.

    I did the firewall with the Gold stuff from Thermotec. (you can just see it in the pic)

    On the airboxes i used their normal stuff.
    I'd say wrapping the water tank is also important.

    The gold stuff is a real pita to get applied without wrinkles.

    I did my airbox lids and front part of the box facing the exhaust with the Thermotec. There is definitely a minimal temperature difference using it.
