I was worried about it trapping engine heat, but the temperature outside has been at or near 100-degrees each afternoon and the cooling fan isn't running any more now than it did before (which was almost never).

I cleaned and re-oiled my air filter for the first time and made almost 79 mpg on my next tank of gas.
I coated the inside of my plate with Bedliner... not sure how it'll work... but just tapping the plate it's a duller sound...
