Easy enough. I have plenty of that. Some pretty tough plastic too. What kind? I have no freaking idea!! Only problem I would have though is making that nice curve on the bottom firewall side of the sheild.




The DTec guys made theirs out of aluminum, of course, but they offered a ceramic coating as an option. The ceramic doesn't conduct heat and is easily painted over for an even more custom look. I have no idea where to obtain the ceramic in small quantities.
