I did check my wife's Baja, and the sister-in-laws Aveo today - neither of them has any insulation whatsoever.

I can't see how this mod could possibly hurt anything at all! (other than a few cuts and bruises.)

Yeah, looks like you hit something sharp! Mabye a glove would help prevent this for the others???

Are you kidding me? I can't work with gloves. I get cut up if I even look at the underside of a car.

Besides that --- what's a little mod without a little blood?

That is definitely true. Besides, gloves were useless to me when I was smelling some burned arm hair.

If you don't mine, stick a meat thermometer in the air vent and let us know what temp you're getting when driving.

I noticed that mid-morning and after around 17:00 my temps go as low as 37-ish degrees.

When I take it out of the garage on Monday, I'll take its temp.

Well I checked it on my 15min way home from work. Outside air not recycled air. Fan was on 2. Temp hung right around 40 degrees.
Temp increased to 42 degrees when I turned the fan on 4.

I wish I would have taken it's temp before the mod.
