I did the same thing its just insulation I think it's suposed to try to keep you hood cooler or something, I don't think it is very important a lot of cars don't even come with them

no thats wrong
its a fire proof material if your engine catches on fire for some reason its kind of a blanket to fall onto the flames to put it out. |

no it wont fade the hood. my friend was test drivin a 1967 mustang when the engine caught on fire. after burning for like 4 minutes, all that happened to the hood was some bubbling in the paint. the paint wont get damaged from the heat of a normal running engine. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

I heard that it was not a fire proof material, I mean obviously if you look at it, its almost cotton like... I think it would catch fire faster! And anyways it might help the engine out a little by letting it dispearse heat better, with the cloth stuff on my hood my engine could have heated a small house!
edit: it is just sound deadening material... This post has been edited by Chrobis: Jun 2, 2003 - 12:47 PM |
