The heatshield is a black insulative material from the factory on the underside of the hood. But they stopped including it from the factory around mid-08 as I recall. You can buy it from the dealer... something like $100 if I recall correctly. I haven't driven the car yet with it but will report back when I do. It has got to lower the temp on the surface of the hood, which can't be a bad thing for water spotting.
