I think I will just make my own heat shields.

That is madness I would never pay it I would rather rivet a bunch of aluminum foil together.

this is just a vibrant part and their website doesn’t even mention anything about why this approx 2' x 1.5' piece of aluminum is nearly $90 more than likely its just annealed aluminum that has been embossed.

That’s pretty much what it is indeed but here they’re cut into specific shapes
