A couple of years ago the company that did my tranny flush got fluid all over the fan/belts, when they started it up it threw it all over the hood and other places.

well that fabric or sound detonating stuff on the bottom side of the hood socked alot of it up, i tried to wash it off, bad move as once i added water the tranny fluid literally ate away at the fabric.

anyway, someone know the part number and price of this ?

thanks!

here is a picture of what it looks like.

 

why not use Dynamat under hood liner? it is susposed to be really good stuff....

i would rather keep it factory if possible.

(never thought i would say that)

 

I agree i'd try for another type of cover, like the dynomat, from what i've heard they are better than the stock covers. Do you really even need one?

 

yea you need one.......the heat that the engine puts off + the heat of the sun could warp the metal in the hood....espically in the 100*+ weather...

 

you and me both.......

 

So is warping the main concern? Just curious, never really knew why they were there. I thought it might be better to help get some of that heat away from the engine. I just know neither of my Gen II's have one

 

well how heavy is that junk? i need the hood lifts to hold it up.

plus the factory one is precut and ready to go on.

my hood is fiberglass btw.

 

i don't think it is any heavier than the stock piece.......

 

if it were me, i'd stick with the factory one. its already cut and bent where it needs to be.
i have tomorrow off, but thursday i can try and look it up. dont no if ill be successful tho

 

just goto a junkyard and grab one, im sure they are a dime a dozen.

 

detonating lol

KABOOM

 

When they replaced my hood from the accident they had a redesign and it was the smaller version. I am sure that you saw it on ine zach. Maybe its different for the fiberglass hoods.

 

i took mine off my 01


and my 99 never came with one

 

is it bad if you dont have one..i took that sucker off like a long time ago

 

no... neither my benz or sentra came with one

 

yea, your hood isn't going to warp......the engine puts off alot of heat, but not that much. Alot of older cars didn't have one, and nothing ever happened to the hood. All it does is deaden sound.

 

I say junkyward run as well. They would prally almost give it to ya!

 

yeah i saw it not sure i want one like that.

before i just say scrap it i want to see how much a new one is. i dont want one from a junk yard.

 

and you threw it out? grrr

 

Why not a junk yard one? Guess I am thinking a ford one is going to be pretty pricy

 

ah i just want it to look new and nice. not saying one at a junk yard isnt but i dont have time to goto a junk yard.

 

If I remember correctly it was like 40 bucks.

 

ahh i see what your saying. Ya the junk yards around here seem like there only open noon - 3pm lol.


If its only $40 like he says then hell go for it
