Have BoxerSix make you a heatshild. The ones he makes for 911’s are flat out cool. Is your WRX tuned yet? Or are you running a turboback w/o a tune? If its the latter - your car is going to hate you very soon due to boost spiking/creep. ---

> [@ST4TUS](#): > > How much (est.) including installation? It would have to come up a little higher on the rear bumper but might not look too bad… That Porsche piece right there was ~$150 installed. Takes me about 4-5 hours to make and install it as I said they’re hand formed per-car as each cars bumper curvature is a little different due to age. I’ve never made one for a Suby but can quite easily once I remove the exhaust and template the bumper. Size and shape can be adjusted per customer liking or requirements… ---

I’ll trade your soot for my melted bumper (the previous owner must have had an angled fartcan on it) Picture 1: ![http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/1561/1007912sb5.jpg](http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/1561/1007912sb5.jpg) Picture 2: ![http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/92/1007913qt7.jpg](http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/92/1007913qt7.jpg) Don’t mind how dirty my car is - someone called me while I was off-roading and I took pictures when I got home. I’ll eventually buy one of the GT-spec carbon fiber heat shields to cover it up, but it’s not that high on my to-do list (I’m not worried about the aesthetics until I’m done with the performance, suspension, and brake upgrades) ---

$150 isnt really that much, atleast I dont think so, not when it comes to modding a car anyways ---
