Rear Bumper Exhaust Heat Shield... anybody have one or know where to get one? - Honda Prelude Forum

So I have a little problem that my previous exhaust created... it melted my rear lip a bit and I'm afraid that when I go to repaint, it will be all for nothing because it will happen again:

So my first solution was to find a kit specifically made for the Prelude (long shot) and all I've found were kits that fit other applications:

There was even a website that showed a DIY way of doing it, and the end result looked, well, terrible:

So has anyone here had any experience on how to make these look better or a decent semi-universal kit that can be used to effectively stop this melting? I know I'm not the only one out there like this!

Don't the evo x's have these in a carbon look

Yes, but I'm afraid the carbon fiber will:

1. Melt just like the plastic of the WWRS Rear lip did

2. Not be as flexible/moldable as metal would be.

I'm okay with shaping the opening of the WWRS to fit one of these shields, but that is option 2 if I can just get the metal to fit the regular opening.

Well good luck and if you diy you should hook us up with a thread

Of course man, my goal is to post all the DIYs under my car's thread which I update as much as possible.

I was just looking to see if anybody could give me a nudge in the right direction on this
