hood liner mod

ok i never cut my hood liner and now I wish I had....its all messed up from excessive washing! so i am going to get a new one from the dealer.


Is it definetely safe to cut it? My concern is that the heat that is going to come out of those vents when they are wide open is going to damage the paint on the outside of the hood. I have heard that you can actually see the heat coming out once you cut it??????? Im sure that better for cooling the engine but bad for the paint.


I have to get my 03 back in to the shop eventually for leaky fog lights and water damaged hood liner.

hey coffin.. yea there have been several posts about people inquiring into whether the heat will bubble the paint. I remember someone posted saying that they commpletely took off their hood blanket on a saleen or something and that he never had any problems.. so I would think that just cutting the holes out larger wouldnt have a negative effect. Since I put the K&N FIPK kit on it, the car instantly gained hp in the butt-o-meter. Since this kit does draw from the engine compartment, I felt that the holes were definitely needed to keep fresh air in the engine compartment. So far Im completely satisfied with the hood blanket mod and the filter kit..
cheers :beer:

When I get my car back from the dealer on monday I am completely taking off the hood blanket. My brother is a painter at a body shop, he can fix it for me if it ruins the paint. I figure the hood blanket can go back on, undamaged when I get rid of the car, NEVER!!

I know this Q has been asked a 1,000,001 times but where did you get the K&N and what is the part #, I am ordering on Tuesday!

I would think that the paint of a black car sitting in the blazing Death Valley sun would get hotter than the other side of a composite hood, with the liner removed. JMHO

Good Point!!!!

SVT Ballz. Good 1. I have already been branded as the psycho car wash guy in the neighborhood. Brought it home in a midwest thunderstorm at 530 pm. waited till it broke at 730 and started washing the car! Went to bed at 130am after Zaino treatment. MUST be Clean. Must Go Faster!. Peace.

I used to own a 2001 Saleen SC281 and it never came with a blanket and the vents are always open the draw back is during a car wash I ask the folks to place towels over the vents no problem. If my memory serves me correctly I posted the Saleen comment no paint damage don't worry it gets just as hot on the outside imagine those hot sunny days.
