These are commercial products. I don't know if 'individuals' can purchase from them.
Your friends the welders should have non-asbestos heat shields for close-quarters work. That material is local purchase.
And fiberglass welding blanket cuttings could be slipped between heat shield and ABS.
I’m still shocked that Hyundai didn’t add a rear diffuser to the Ioniq hybrid. Even Hyundais Elantra and Sonata hybrids have decent looking rear diffusers for gas engine cars. Toyota Prius even has a rear diffuser. I don’t get the flat bumper reasoning for the Ioniq when they were making a low drag fuel efficient car
