hood lining??

FijiSan · 04-16-2008, 12:20 PM

i don't wanna seem like a total douche for posting this, but does that crap under the hood actually do anything? i've read from some people it'll fade the clearcoat on the hood, and whatever else they're saying it does...but if i take it off, what'l happen exactly...any help thanks

It deadens sound and keeps the hood temperature down when parked, but I'm not sure about paint life. Can't get much hotter than a black hood in AZ sun.

Why do you want to remove it? It's fairly light and not hurting anything.

I'll take it if you want to get rid of it.

i like the way the hood looks without it from what i've seen, but i'll probably just keep it on, who knows

I've wondered the same. I was thinking that it's used to reduce NVH.

How easy is it to take off?
