hood insulation
 

I really hate how it looks. Is it really that important or can i take it off?

I took mine off my stock hood when i had that on, i hated the way it looked also so i ripped it off.

i dont have it on my car

i am taking it off tommorow. = weight reduction lol

it's common to remove it, all it's really for is sound

i took it off and it looked like it had the shapes in it that were on the iroc hoods

I took mine off too. Looks better in my opinion but now I gotta get something to get the greenish-yellow gluey crap off. Any suggestions? Goo gone?

Goo-gone! :)

:( hey guess what... two people i know that work at different body shops said that i need to put it back on...they said after a while the paint will start to chip from the heat.

I think it will chip anyway... Especially if you drive it in winter.

the heat won't effect it, aftermarket hoods never have it, and rarely does the paint fail (heat won't cause chipping btw) if your engine gets hot enough to effect the paint (the sun gets pretty warm on top) then you have other issues

2 of my friends that work at different body shops told me i need to put it back on. they said the paint will start to chip from the heat after a while. ****

your friends are wrong

i dont think ur friends are right i dont think hoods even come with that stuff when u get them aftermarkt sometimes and paint getting hot wont make it chip away

thats exactly what i told them...oh well ill let them have ugly hoods :D
