Welcome to BMO. Don't spend much time thinking about this, just remove them and go drive your new Boss.StDavid said:Has anyone used automotive heat resistant reflective tape? If yes, does it work and how bad does it look?
BTW: I'm new here.
Dig-It said:I melted the deflectors on my LS too. I've also seen or heard of this on a few other Boss's out there.
This may be coincidental, but I noticed that some folks that have removed them are also experiencing rear tire failures in the form of the center tread coming apart in chunks. Could there be too much heat from the exhaust pouring on to the rear tire at prolonged WOT?
Even if the two have nothing to do with each other, I'm keeping my deflectors in. I'm also making a heat shield out of some sheet metal to keep them from melting further.
lol I keep forgetting to do it.PeteInCT said:I'm starting to dread the fact hat I started this thread. JUST TAKE THEM OFF !!! ;D LOL
