I concur.
Aluminum plates do a great job of absorbing heat. Heck, feel your firewall braces, they get pretty warm too. If you have a STB like myself, the tower bar gets warm and you can feel the heat being drawn into the car's chassis.
Imagine using a metal heatshield made of aluminum and painted black.
And for the price, you could have the Dinan intake and Dinan ram air scoop.
