5SFE vs 7AFE Engine Hoods, Lining vs No Lining Options

[Celicav]

Need your help. I am considering purchasing Jspec3sge's (Ryan's) mint condition stock red engine hood from his 1994 ST (7AFE). From the pics, you can see it has no lining under the hood (just bare metal). Is this standard on STs? Both my GTs have thick lining under the hood. Doesn't this help keep the metal hood insulated/cooler after running the engine? I think it would be hard to "transplant" the lining from one hood to the other. Thanks.

my 98 gt had no lining under the hood. so some have it and some dont. dosnt really matter all that much tho

the only drawback to not having the lining is that i would noticed a little bit of steam on the top of the hood when it was raining out. im guessing the lining would prevent this
