Yes it seems like a great product. It’s a nasty job getting all the old adhesive off and don’t want to do it again anytime soon.
What did you do to your E9 today?
- Thread starter adawil2002
- Start date
Took it for a drive today--had to get out of the house. Big Tujunga Canyon → Angeles Forest Highway → Angeles Crest Highway. Beautiful day in the Angeles National Forest.
Looks great. What you using on the chrome?
Finally finished my FSB light conversion to AFR gauge/radar detector power box. Now ready for a road trip to.....unfortunately nowhere right now

The car is ready for paint. Hopefully in the next week or two. Waiting for new SS bumpers. They are ordered and are somewhere between Viet Nam and New York with no estimate for delivery.
Pimped my poodles
The heat shield project. Thanks for the inspiration from all of those here who documented it. Stole a page from Erik Netherlands and welded on a couple of weld nuts; bulletproof.
...and if anyone is serious about doing this project, I have about 40 weld nuts (M8 x 1.25) left that I can send free (small donation to forum...?) if anyone needs them. Search "heat shield" for Stevehose and Eriknetherlands threads.

Classic 9 is still selling the hood foam/padding. I just bought some last week for my E24
My coupe's twin!
@dpdapper Another good ride would be the road between Pepperdine in Mailbu out to the Thousand Oaks area. The is yet another road somewhere near there with even more twists.
@Luis did you need to remove the headers (or down pipes) to get this on?
I have headers on my coupe, have had the heat shield forever but not installed.
I think you may be thinking about Decker Canyon. Very twisty, and I've had some incredibly fun days on that road. Not for the faint of heart (they can stay on Kanan or Malibu Canyon Road)!
Malibu Canyon Road is a lot of fun! Drove it 4 times last year before the Targa California 2019.
Fantastic pic! Just drove it on Sunday (although not in the coupe...had a toddler sleeping in the back of the daily driver).
Stunt Road, Mulholland and lots of others frequented by SoCalVintage drives
Stan, definitely need to remove the downpipes to do the placement of the nuts and priming/schmutz application afterwards. I don’t know if the shield would fit in w/o removing the pipes; I didn’t try. Maybe some of the old threads would shed light on that.
