Default How To: Cheap TB heat shield for 3800's

I was bored and going thru my parts bin when i came up with this.

I had the Radiator fan heat shield left over from when it had to come off for the header install and had my L67 TB laying around and saw the bolt hole for the support bracket that most do not use anyway... with one simple bend i was able to mount the radiator heat shield to the TB. Yes I know people are going to say heat shields don't do much at all for performance. But, it can help lower the temp of the TB due to the header cross over and may save or lengthen the life of the MAF sensor. either way its basically a free mod. most run the radiator fans without these heat shields when having headers anyway and don't have any fan issues. ok on to the pics.
