Added Embossed Aluminum Heat Shield to Underbody Cavity Shield

Mabbett shield + Embossed aluminum heat shield + 2 hours labor = a more OEM look, plus exhaust tip heat blocking, plus corrosion protection?

I like the look better than the painted black ones. Might actually buy this one.

I think this kit requires the black aluminum set, but I could be wrong. The foil cardboard looks a little...frail.

Looks great. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up in a year or two. I'm getting ready to install my Mabett kit after I get the truck undercoated. Anybody know the torque spec for the big bumper bolt? I can't remember.

Reminds me of shielding on the Mars Rover - interplanetary tough! Looks great.

I should have taken better before and after pictures. It is the Mabbett shield wraped in aluminum heat shielding.

Definitely not frail as I beat it into shape with the orange hammers. Not frail but still easy to form.

100% I did it just for looks. I was going for the look of the driveshaft tunnel shielding. This is my first attempt, I feel like I could get much cleaner seams if I did it again with a sheet metal seam tool instead of lineman's pliers.
