Hood insulation
Is it all right to run without it with a 3.0? It's not gonna get hot enough to damage the paint or anything right?
just curious..(cuz a friend of mine took it off on their '90 cuz it was lookin crappy/fell off, and mine has been off...)

I wonder if this is part of the reason...?

Somebody on this internet thing said it's actually sound insulation, not heat insulation. I'm just passing on rumors...

I guess I'd better leave it on. The K&N FIPK already sounds like its going to jump through the hood as it is.

Pressure washing the engine is a real pain with that insulation on the hood too. I personally like it much better without.
Its odd. Some vehicles have it, and some dont. Heck, my '79 Supra had it.
Someone needs to find out what this stuff is REALLY for.

I dont really know anybody in town who does a really good job.
I've been to Bill Etscorns (sp?) on Buchel Bypass, to get a door replaced on my ex-Subaru. They managed to get some sort of black crap all over the place (including my seats).
The paint looked ok, but they didnt get the window stuff put together right, and it was generally a poor job quality-wise.I've also been to a shop across the river in New Albany (I forget the name - but its on Mount Tabor Rd) to have my ex-Ranger painted. The paint looked great, but 3 years later, it is peeling off all over the place.
So my opinion is they all suck!
