If its painted i dont think it would hurt the paint on the hood b/c I always see people with cobras have theirs off

 

i've had my liner off since maybe a month after i bought my car... no problems and my hood isnt melted.

 

so u can take out the honeycomb piece in the hood scoop cause it looks like crap lol????

 

Yeah you can, and you can even cut out your piece in your hood with no problem. All you need is a dremel. And no, you don't need a liner, I've seen no problems with heat being an issue.

 

oh ok. so whats the liner there for?

 

Seeminlgy heat? However, I know someone who has run without his for over a year. Paint hasn't been a problem, ever. I know tons of people who have been doing it. I myself, for 3 months?

 

what color silver paint did you use? i have the interior upgrade in my stang as well, but i like what you did with the doors so i will proly do it too. I was just wondering what brand and what color you used, it looks good.

 

some mechanic was tellin me it was for noise, to help soften the sound in the engine bay, and just as you guyz said he took his off and had no problems... I was thinkin about takin mine off, wonder if it'll make any difference in sound...

 

I used a Duplicolor "import spray" silver. You can use any color as long as its that brand, I got it at Advanced Autoparts. Then you need to get the Duplicolor clear coat (color code: T125). You'll need (4) 5 oz. cans of the color of your choice, and (1) 11 oz. can of the clear coat. I did 5 coats of silver and 3 coats of clear!

 

thanks, i work at a murray's auto parts store so I now exactly what color you are talkin about. today i was looking at the vinly/fabric spray paint in silver, but i wasnt sure if that was it cause the color didnt look the same as your pics.

 

Yup. Silver it is. What really makes the trim pieces is the clear coat at the end.

 

ok, so i just finished painting my trim. I used dupli-color ultra silver- color code T-191, I went with this color because its almost exactly the same as the import silver, but form what i could tell it has a more metallic look. which is what i wanted anyways because i already had the interior upgrade package from ford. also it comes in the big 11 oz can instead of the smaller 5 oz can and the bonus was i only needed one can and i did about 6 small coats on everything plus about 4 clear coats I dont have a dig. camera but im sure i can get a hold of one and i'll put some pics up. to me it looks awesome, but you guys wil be able to judge for yourself.

 

Sweet man! Lets see the pics soon!
