Think of the shields as "upside down L-figures." They're made of aluminum, are custom fit, and each side is different. You can see the shot of my passenger side, through the wheel opening, with the wheel well vent and battery removed. The other pic is of the driver side, with the wheel well vent still there -- so look through the mesh and you can see the heat shield over the pipes. Installation is a pretty easy, straight-forward job... meaning it will take most of the weekend.
