[QUOTE="Cobra'03, post: 375982, member: 3013"] It is not a fire shield - the grounding strap indicates it is there to shunt RF energy to ground. It is an electro=magnetic shield - done to both reduce intereference to the car's radio, as well as other cars = exccess EM can also wreak havoc with low-voltage circuitry, such as that employed by sensors. Composites hoods have little or no RF shielding ability - fiberglas was originally developed to shield WWII radar installations from weather, while not interfering with RF transmissions. This one has been asked and answered many times. I am an EE and that is my opinion. [/QUOTE]
