I want to, but it's quite a bit of money, so it's on my to-do list after I get some suspension work done

It's aluminum tape, It's insulation from the ridiculous underhood temps caused by jet-hot coated ceramic longtubes

I want it to match the exterior paint.

Also, I might spray paint my upper and lower front grilles flat black, to blend in a bit better as well
