First off, thanks! I think our enthusiasm for this vehicle shows in the final product.

Because I'm an Industrial Designer and brushed aluminum has a nice contrast against the black molded parts.
Really though, I am working on insulating the lid as we speak. Even if it were not insulated, the surface area of the lid is a small percentage of the overall surface area of the complete system. Very little heat, if any, will radiate off the lid and make it into the throttle body.
