Coupe Firewall question

[ChrisNicholls]

Hey-o,

I see on some builds, an aluminum firewall piece shown below in the photo.
I can't find this piece and it is not mentioned in the Build Guide
Is it custom? Is it a good idea?

That is custom.

X2. Custom piece. Necessary? Probably not. But does clean up the engine bay a little. This was early in my Coupe build and can see how it closes off the area behind the Coyote.

once the body is on you really don't see that area. I also wonder if it will keep more heat in the engine bay? Some people cover the top frame rails around the engine and that looks great.

Thanks, looks great! What material are you using?

That's something I hadn't thought of. I was thinking maybe it would be cooler for the driver with it, but maybe you are right, it will disperse more heat under the car.
