Moved it out of my lift bay to make room for the 540i whose fine ZF/Lemforder center link has been recalled. I love parts made in the third world labled as "German." A really fun job to do--twice.

It says do it in 30 minutes or less. I have that little tool. Been sitting in my tool chest for almost 2 years. It along with a couple rolls the red pinstripe. 
You've inspired me to dust off the cobwebs.
Cheers!

Did you end up using the 718 piece or did it not work out. Hard to tell from the picture.

No unfortunately it was too brittle to fit against the curvature of the wing. I ended up.breaking it. So I ordered letters to replicate it. The wing is curved horizontally and vertically so the stencil that came with the letters was useless. I wish it was perfect but Im gonna leave for awhile.

No, that was on Guanella. We drove up from Grant on 285 up and over to Georgetown, then to Idaho Springs to CR 103 by Echo Lake and over Juniper Pass, and down Witter Gulch to Evergreen Lake.
It’s such a beautiful area and roads built for Porsches!

Twice I've taken the car out, and to operating temperature. Now... I didn't install the barrier on the left side or right side of the trunk... just under the middle piece of wood.
I have noticed a reasonably substantial mitigation of heat. I put my hand on top of the carpet, in the middle... and it most certainly is less HOT... likewise the ambient trunk air when I open the trunk lid. So... it worked for me. One of these days again I'll pull up all the trunk carpet... and finish off the two sides.
Here's the product I used, and I've plenty left over.

A template for the duck tail curvature? Its curved side to side and up and down. The deck lid template won't work, they came with one.
