How important is the CF Shield? Looking to buy the RS*R cat -back and was wondering if I should get the shield with it? Also if you have pics of yours please post. Thanks!

 

I bought an Autothority one for my car (I think), but I haven't installed it yet. I have a first run helix catback that I will be intalling shortly, and I don't want to melt my bumper. I'm thinking of putting a thin piece of insulation on the back of the shield because it doens't look like it would do much on its own.

 

I don't have the shield but I have clocked 25k on the car and I never noticed too much soot build up to justify NEEDING the shield. However, it does look nice and I will probably buy one in the future when I'm really bored.

 

Think I'll go ahead and get one to be on the safe and stylish side.

 

Anyone got a picture for this shield?

second pic from the bottom.

 

Does anyone know how to attach it to the bumper? Mine came with three self-tapping screws that attach on the underside of the bumber, but it seems that there is nothing to hold the outside portion against the bumper so it doesn't flap around.

 

mine came with the three screws and double sided tape for the inside top.

 

I guess I'll be buying some tape then. What type was it, like thick foam-type tape, or clear-Scotch-type tape (I'm not sure if it matters, but...).

 

thicker foam.

 

Cool, thanks.

 

i have one, i must say i love the look. also that double sided tape sucks doesnt hold for crap. i just went along and riveted the top portion of it. to give it that JDM appearance and i must say it looks damn good.

 

how much did you guy get yours for?
