I'm not sure about this one. But I believe they DO sell heat shield material that you can place underneathur hood.

 

I have a VIS invader CF hood with the vent. It helps dissipate heat and so far i have had no fading. However, right where the vent is i have noticed little cracks. I believe it is from the heat. Ony my prelude though, the turbo mounts only a couple of inches away from the hood so that is probably the source. I have had it on for about 6 months.

i had already read all the way thru that post, and didnt really find a definate, or close answer. Im looking to see if anyone has anydirect experiances with the problem, if it is even a problem. any one else?
also, will thermo-sheild or thermo-wrap, or what ever the ***** its call do the trick jsut fine, so i woulnt have to worry about it ever?

 

I have no heat shield of any kind and my CF hood is holding up perfectly. I can put my hand on the hood after a long run and almost burn myself. I've taken several courses on materials and composit materials and know for a fact composits are designed for high heat.

 

i have a d16z with a turbo and no heat sheild and i dont have any cracks in my hood. they uses a clear apoxy urathane gel to seal a good carbon fiber hood the only way i can see ic cracking is if the hood stayed up to long it get some stress cracks but they use that **** on fighter plains and they get more heat stress then a simple turbo and the dont crack i dont know iff this helps you but i would say you have nothing to worry about just dont buy crap
