Looks like a very neat job there, the shield is a clever idea but I wonder how effective it is in minimising heat. I guess it will help reflect radiated heat but I am sure there is still alot of convective heat drawn in, since the air is still from the engine bay.

As far as heat goes, I ran the car for 3 or 4 passes down my block, came back, opened up the hood, felt the Stainless Steel "Heat Plate" and nearly burned my pointer finger off, this shield is for the birds. The only benefit I can see for having the shield is that it doesnt directly allow HOT HOT Air onto the CAI. Good luck with the hood scoop vents, a mock up would certainly be nice to see.

Well I've got photo shop and I'll work on doing a mock up of the vents. I too was thinking about the aluminum cover that would have angled vents directing air in. I'll see what I can come up with in photo shop.
