If the stuff you are talking about is that black material held on with the push in plastic clips you can take it off with no problem.Before I put the Harwood hood on mine I took it off because it was kinda sagging and looked like crap.You don't need to worry about your hood warping.

I've never heard of this happening, so I dont see a problem. Everyone has aftermarket fiberglass hoods with no heatshield on it and no problems.
