FS: 3rd Gen OEM Heat Shield/Insulator for Sport Hood w/Scoop; Central TX - Will Ship

SOLD!

These are somewhat hard to find so don't wait if you need one. This listing does not include the 11 plastic clips/discs that secure the heat shield to the hood. These snap off and break when I use my nylon trim removal tool.

This is a complete insulator. All 11 installation holes are intact. There are two small places where you can see small surface tears, but these do not go through the heat shield.

The price is $85 plus whatever Greyhound shipping costs you. I package the heat shield securely in a corrugated flat box. As far as Greyhound shipping cost (GPX) the first one I sold was $68 to Alabama. The second one I sold was $71 to Michigan. The third one I sold to the SF Bay area was $72 for shipping. If the Greyhound estimate is high they will refund you the difference.

Please send as a gift or add 3% so that I still receive $85. As you probably know these cost $285 new from Toyota. I called Toyota of Dallas to confirm this. The part number for the heat shield is 53341-35032 if you want to buy a new one. There are 11 clips that secure the heat shield to the underside of the hood. The part number for these is 90467-09006. They are sold individually for about $1 each.

Please call or text me at 979-574-2070. As always, no PMs, holds, posts or dibs to buy this item. The first person to send me a PayPal payment gets the heat shield.

Thanks,

Greg

Here is a photo of the heat shield before I removed it from the green Sport hood.

So this is how I ship them. I place the insulator on corrugated cardboard from a large box. The cardboard is 58" x 38". The insulator is very stiff, so this helps with the integrity of the packaging. The molded/raised parts add about 3" to the height of the package.

I use the awesome brown box tape from U-Haul to reinforce the cardboard and tape around the edges. The edge of the package is about a 1/4" thick and the center is about 3".

I made the rounds on the internet and in person and the only reasonable way to this these is on Greyhound. The estimate for this first one was $68. We used 12 pounds for the estimate, but it weighed 6.7 pounds at the Bryan Greyhound station. The actual weight is somewhere in the middle. My local Greyhound has a scale that always reads less than actual. It gave a weight of 37 pounds for a complete Sport hood, which I think should probably weigh between 50lbs and 55lbs.

If someone wanted me to cut the insulator (after you pay for it) down the center (think from the center of the windshield to the center of the grille) I could stack the two halves and ship these in a package half the size. This would also allow me to ship it USPS for probably under $20. USPS will not ship it as you see it here. They measure the 38" dimension twice plus the length and this goes over their 108" limit.

A cut insulator would still intall the same way with the 11 clips. This is just an idea - I don't know if it would affect the performance of the insulator or not.

Hello Sir...hey thanks for all the pictures and explaining everything so clearly up front. Unfortunately, I still have a question...gees, who knew..right?? Anyway, is it possible to wash/paint/use a cleaner (or do a combination of all 3?) to make the cover look so it's a solid matching shade of black...basically looking new again??

Yeah...I think I can live with your asking price (sorry, I'm very frugal) and also shipping by bus to Ohio. Just need to know if the insulator can be salvaged to look semi-new again or not.

Thank you for your time Sir!

I'm not sure how well these clean up. I did not do anything to the insulator other than remove it from the hood. These heat shields are thick and sturdy, so wiping them down with a damp cloth should be OK. If you think about it there are probably some engine fluids that splash up against it from time to time as well as deflected rain water from the tires and street below. I would imagine that you could wipe down the heat shield with a damp cloth and get pretty good results, but I would prefer that you do this instead of me since I don't have any information on recommended cleaning procedures.
