full wheel covers & brake heat

[Buddy]

Weather spotter: how did you attach the full-wheel discs? My Highlander as spoked steel cast wheels.

I have steel wheels so I just drilled and tapped them. then I used three bolts on each pizza pan.

While I like the front and side air dams, I am concerned about rising temps for a) the engine, b) the auto transmission, and c) the exhaust system. I have a ScanGuageII installed, and it does read the engine temp, but not the temps for the other two. Any thoughts about this issue?

As always YMMV.I don't use my brakes much, I have a manual, and I try not to. If you minimize brake usage, i doubt you will have an issue...

What kinda vehicle do you have?

You could use an electronic meat thermometer to monitor temps in those areas.

Ever since I put my full belly pan, blocked 67% of my front grill, dropped my air dam 6½" lower and slapped on 11" side skirts...I haven't detected any rise in temps. I am looking to isolate my exhaust system with some aluminum sheeting or tubing.

You can git an auxiliary transmission temp gauge and plumb that in.
