Hood blanket

[yeasure]

Is it safe to remove the hood blanket?
My hood was fully painted under the blanket and looks fine but will the heat from the heaton/engine cause any damage to the paint/hood?

nope! gank the b*tch......does nothing, you'll see a minor drop on ur temp gauge. 7000 miles on mine, no fade, have talked to other with over 20K miles, no fade....

I agree pull it, just make sure before you go ripping it off the underside of your hood is painted, not everyone is as lucky as me.:thumbsup:

I also have my blanket removed, it hasn't been too long, maybe a couple thousand miles or so. But no problems here either.

I already stated my hood was painted, looks just like the top of the hood, no markings nothing, looks great.

My hood is fine and the blanket has been off for about 22,000 miles now.

this has been beat to death. if you want your hood to work more effeicent then remove it. less heat under the hood with no issues.

I'm one of the lucky ones in that the underside of my hood is painted, but I like the look of a very clean blanket with no stains (re: painted black!) with a well done cut-out with flex trim around the edges......... Think the hood blanket mod really looks sharp when done right...........

 

[jmir018]

this is it what the hood blanket mod looks like...

...
I still like it better without the blanket though..:shrug:

:rockon:

Look under your hood at the vents and then tell me what you think.

I ripped off the blanket and the vent flaps.

 

[fastsnake99]

isint it the same as just cutting the vent hoes in the blanket to the same size as he vent.. i already removed the plastic flap undr the blanket covering the vents..?

God, I wonder if the removal of the blanket would constitute cancellation of the warranty in some way (not kidding), Doc.

Yank the blanket off dude....and cut the vent guards while ur at it!!!

how about if it gets stuck in the rain. Where exactly does it hit on the engine?
