Reassembly-heat shield, radiator and taillights

I was concerned about heat from the sidepipes bubbling the paint on my door sills and doing bad things to the silicone I sealed the aluminum plates on with so I got Hushmat heat reflective tiles from wwwfasttoys.net and glued them on where the sidepipes go. The adhesive on the tiles is rated for 400 degress, hope that's enough.

I cut a bunch of holes in my top radiator mount and bolted the rad in.

I took some aluminum mesh and riveted it in the opening where the taillights used to be. I went through the trouble of making aluminum trim rings but it looks racier and better without them. Air in the rear wheelwells will have an easy exit out these vents.
