Noise:
A good firewall mat and sound-absorbing (NOT Water-absorbing!!) floormat will
help here, probably more than a hood mat. Under way, the air goes past the
engine and below the car so it is a lot better than what you see sitting still.

Shroud:
I think it is a great idea IF it fits the 122 fan placement. There is a 6-blade
OEM fan that was an option that is a bit better but the blades are pretty small.
There are larger fans but they foul the AC pulley as the engine/water pump/fan/
radiator are pretty close-coupled. The metal fan that came on my 164 is a good
example. On the 164 it has about a 2" spacer between the fan and water pump pulley.

Wheel skins- I have bought them at NAPA and such like but the steering wheels
are so big that it is a real stretch. Leaving them in a closed car in the heat
of the day in Panama helped on installation..... They were pretty cheap and
didn't last very long but were OK for a while.
