Look closer in the description;
"Powder coated heat shields"
I understand that these are not for everyone. I decided to purchase these for the ez install and after care. I don't feel like taking my bumper on and off even once not to mention making holes larger. I'm no racer, just a young at heart 50 year old who purchased this car as a 50th birthday present to himself (helps to have a great wife!)I have owned 4 Z's prior to this one, I loved my first a 240! Bob Sharp airdam, true spoke wheels, whale tail, blacked out head light lens covers. She was the best.
