how are you going to tell how it does with heat, if you dont paint it? obviously the heat isnt an issue with them in factory plastic, or the vettes would come with them in the first place!

I put heat tape on mine. The guy who made them suggested it. Not the best pictures for showing where to cut.

The only part of mine that I had to modify was the spot near the throttle cable bracket. Otherwise mine are just as the factory made them... Pics included

There's more to the story too tho, ...
Has the EGR/AIR been removed from the car?
Have you ever picked a towel to wipe anything clean?
Oh, sorry, I got side-tracked for a minute, ...


Yes, you can get away with less cutting if you do other modifications to the car.
