You do not need to install a heat shield. If there is a shield required it's the car companys responsibility to make wure your car is road safe. I'd check the NHTSB website to see if there are any recalls on that car.

Heat shield on what? Over the exhaust system components that run next to the tank?
Plastic melts faster than steel, so my guess is yes!
