hood
alright so the insulation thing on the bottom side of the hood---is it for heat resistance to the paint or is it to deaden the engine noise. i want to take it off but im to afraid that the paint will get screwed up if it is in fact for heat.

you'll be fine. my buddy (steve-o on the forums) took his off, spray painted the underside of his hood black, and he has the KB 1.7 which generates a **** ton of heat...and the paint on either side of the hood are perfect

I took mine off 2 weeks ago... No problems as of yet...
It was 97 degrees last week... go for it... As long as you aren't really hard on it or race it, I cant imagine the paint would get ****ed up |

Its also there for Fire supression. If a fire breaks out the blanket is supposed to drop to smother the fire.
I know lots of 03/04 Cobra guys who remove theirs though. To each his own!
