Removing Hood Liner
Has anyone experienced any problems after removing the hood liner? Paint cracks/ fading? I'm planning on removing or replacing after my airaid intake destroyed it.

Re: Removing Hood Liner
Now you can install a mirror under there for shows. I have a mylar mirror that I use ONLY for shows. It fastens with commercial velcro. My hood liner looks the same but is covered with the mirror.

Re: Removing Hood Liner
I'd be more leery of removing the liner with a turbo with all the heat that puppy puts out...

Re: Removing Hood Liner
If anything the liner keeps the heat inside.

Re: Removing Hood Liner
Supposedly it is there to help smother a engine fire. Speaking as a former fire Asst. Chief it will help, if the cable doesn't burn off and you can get the hood open.

Re: Removing Hood Liner
Out of all things I set on fire the last thing I thought of burning was my hood liner. Damn I could have tested your theory haha

Re: Removing Hood Liner
Back to your question. As QSD said, the Turbo puts a heck of a lot more heat out than the N/A. but I wouldn't think enough to do harm to the hood. The liner is there as a fire blanket where the plastic tabs are supposed to melt and the blanket falls down and helps smother the fire (didn't do Ucantcme, a moderator on this forum, any good as you can see his PT in the above picture).
Also, according to PT Do-It-Yourself.net, the blanket help in reducing underhood noise. I took mine off years ago and I have a permanent stainless steel cover, but it's an N/A.
