I havent heard anything from Wonderbar about cutting out a heat shield. I'm still trying to find a diagram showing physical measurements of the coils so I can bug the aftermarket ignition companies about suitable substitutions. I'm sure there's already something developed for another car that would work just fine, it's just a matter of finding it.

Two new revised part number OEM coils should be arriving tomorrow in the nick of time. I'm replacing my #3 which is throwing P0353 with a new one and keeping another as a spare. My #1 was replaced back in March with the same CEL issue (P0351) and has been fine since.

Don't want to go too off topic but there's ongoing discussion on this issue including the idea of using the popular GM coils with heat sinks on them here:

Though the LSX coils are an odd shape and have a very slim chance of fitting in the FA20 heads as-is.
