What Would Happen If I...


Hites

They aren't only used for noise reduction. It's also used for heat dissipation to protect your paint and clear coat. If your hood is exposed to such extreme temperatures for such a long period of time, your paint can become extremely brittle, and large half dollar size chips will start appearing from rocks, instead of the smaller ones from impact. A cheap paint job will do the same thing.

I thought that hood lining was also used for safety. Ya know I heard it acts kinda like a fire blanket, if your engine catches on fire it will drop and hopefully smother the fire out. Also, I'm a weight junky, how much weight would be saved if that lining was removed?
