Can one block more heat then the other or are they both the same ? What are the temp drops of each ? And do you guys ship to the USA ?

[jbortell]

just found out Nitto Denko is making black heat shields. OEM approved. Bonds great! Looks great!

When I drive it gets so hot in the front of my truck. I think I may need this. My truck isn't overheating but heck this may help me. How do I order? Sucky part is I gotta apply this with the parts still on.

Does this reflect the heat back to engine side?
I know that shiny parts especially foils reflect back some heat to the object

[killnconquer]

Can this be used inside on the floor board?

Need block heat in my Chev 3500 express van Dog House engine cover. 7.4 ltr v8 puts out alot of heat.
Do you recommend. What do I order.

Hi there guys, im building my Ls1 turbo in vx commodore and was wondering would this peel n stick be ideal for placing on the firewall to protect the brake line from the dump pipe heat?, and which product of yours would be good to mould a alternator heat shield..Cheers Fellas

Can this be in direct contact with a exhaust manifold? Im trying to sandwich it betweem my intake manifold and exhaust headers on my jeep

Looking to cool down the cockpit in a one off aluminum hot rod. This looks to be about as good as of a product as can be had, unfortunately I am in Southern California. Do you have any availability here, or can you recommend a product that may be available in the United States with similar properties? I love the needle punched feature of your product as so many heat shield products I see on cars are coming apart. I do not care about sound deadening properties, only heat reduction in the cockpit.

Hi CarBuilders, thanks for your great videos, & I hope this isn't a stupid question: for install of heat shield on the engine side of firewall, can you do it with the engine in place or does the engine need to come out first? (Trying to work out if it is achievable for me, I have a Ford Econovan 1995, cab over engine, lots of heat coming into cab). Thanks again.

You should really have included a link to each of your mentioned products in the video description.

[erwinf.formilleza]

Cool video. Have you tried this on any marine applications? I'm doing a lot of research on best insulation . I'm needing to insulate my 26' Sailboat here in Dallas. Would love to hear any feedback...

[Rickfyoutube]

If i put this on my car windows, will it keep my car warmer in the winter while I'm hot boxing?

How much clearance to exhaust headers would you recommend for this to be used? I would like to put this near my brake master cylinder but it quite close to my manifold in some areas?

[etakishinji]

I need this for my ek3 civic. How to order though?

[jimijackson]

I have a silly q...suppose you use heat shield and carve it in the form of the car windows...do you think it would be effective at helping keeping a parked car cooler than say those cheapo ones from Kmart? (Ie on the interior of the car)

How well does it hold the water? I've heard of this stuff rusting out your panels

[hardtrooth]

Hello will it stick to a plastic water tank under vehicle

[chrismast]
