    Edit: I will say that the driver side, top bolt/nut was kind of a PITA to tighten because there were lines in the way; but other than that, golden!

    Oh, and I second the smell of BBQ! Haha! :rofl:

    I just did a quick search on this thread and did not find any mention of overheating issues. Is anyone concerned with the addition of more coverage may come at a cost of higher engine bay temperatures?

    Hey Steven, thanks for your interest.
    If you flip through a few pages on the thread you will find the opinons/install reviews from other members. Also waiting on a few more at the moment. Hang around man, let me know what you want to do.

    PM coming

    I have been running these on my truck for months, personally haven't seen any variations on my engine temp guage. When I designed these, the idea was to provide ample coverage but not to seal the opening entirely for that exact reason. Understanding that air flow enters the engine bay from within the wheelwells, it also has multiple other access points to prevent overheating.
