Has anyone tried this on our PP or Macan brakes?

I think it provides a lot more air than our oem shields which have no vents.So what's it do, provide a little more air to the rotor at 150 MPH? Can you see it from the front? If that's all it does it seems careful drilling of holes in the OEM one would do similar.

with drilling oem shields, they will rust in no time, with cutting them off you will fry the other components crisp such as ball joints and rubber lines from too much heat.
Nice looking setup! Good to know nothing has fried but I'm curious do you go to brake-heavy race tracks like Laguna (seeing as you're in norcal)?those shields are for 370mm rotors and will be larger than your stock shields, I run no shields for 2yrs and never fried a line or ball joint.

Epoxy paint to exposed metal, cure for 24 hours, bake in your oven for an hour or two afterwards. No rust.I think it provides a lot more air than our oem shields which have no vents.

I think small or weird is subjective, but I'm mainly just wondering if it fits. I don't like to cut heat shields as I don't like exposed sharp edges and definitely don't want to run it without a heat shield.these are 1/4" over sized for the 370mm rotors and will look weird on the smaller rotors
