Hotbodies & Armour Bodies are going to be cheaper. Shark skinz, Catalyst, & OPP are going to be top grade & come with a price to match.

Don't buy those cheap ebay sets from China, they don't fit!

If you have your CAT on still, there's a chance you could melt the bottom of the cheaper plastics.

I use this stuff on the bottom of mine. My Yosh exhaust actually comes in contact with my bodywork, and this stuff prevents any damage.

Nice! Must work better than the stuff I used.
My Catalyst bodywork didn't melt when I had a CAT but when I switched to a cheap set of plastics they would melt.

Yeah, this stuff works great, the "withstand 1750 deg F direct continuous heat" was what caught my eye. Some of the heat tape products have a high "max" but lower continuous. It does wear out though - I had 3 race weekends and it melted through the stuff, so I just put on another layer.
