In my old VR-4, I made a headshield out of an old oven tray and ducted some cold air to it from one of the foglight openings. It actually cost me more for the tools to do it than the parts themselves, but it totalled around $50. Sealed it off with an old door rubber seal I had lying around. Worked well too...

Cost about $12 from Supercheap for the can of spray tint. Already had the circles from other items - lids off tennis ball cans (brake), cap off some other paint (indicator).
