Thumbs up ProLex heatshield for GS 300
I'm sorry don't have a digital camera to show, that being said, the fit, looks and finish are AWESOME!!!!
Lexus should install this heat shield at the factory and make it part of the design.
It realy completes the engine bay, can't tell you enough on how good it looks.
By the way it fits, I am sure that it is also very functional.
You can't complaint on the price either, $77 from Steve at Carson's.

Maybe bluelex's signature can give you a hint on what he has!

Guys with the plp heat shield...Do you notice any rattling with it? Was it very easy to install yourself or could you not reach all the bolts? Also any noticable difference in temps around the intake after installed?

I was ready to buy one but I read some guys over at is300.net had some rattling issues with theirs. I am not sure if it had to do with the installation or if they got a first generation of the shield.
