Dumb question about hood...

[2008g8gt]

Ok, the hood liner. Do you need it on? What is it's function? Mine is weathered and looks like poop. Stained and all. Should I buy a new one or can I just leave it off?

Function is mainly noise abatement. Took mine off 6 months ago or more due to blower pulley cutting a groove in it. Can't tell any difference with it off.

It also doubles as a fire blanket in case a fire starts under the hood. It falls down and snuffs it out.

Mine looks like crap too, I'll be getting a new one though. Right after I bend down my Pedders strut bar so it doesn't hit it.

Ok. For some reason in my mind I was worried about the heat. Thought it would cause a heat issue.

The only way to tell is to take it off. If it looks ok and you don't want to replace it, then don't. I'm going to be dressing up my next one.

looks just like mine... who needs a fire blanket anyways LOL I'd rather have the whole thing go up in smoke than a partial fire anyways.

If the fire starts while the car is in your garage and it's attached to the house you'll be screwed.

Someone could leave the stove on and my house could catch fire that way too. Darn no fire blanket on the stove. That is what insurance is for. We have fire alarms in every room including the garage we will be alright, but thanks for your concern.

You have two choices in life... Live life to the fullest or live in fear of what might happen. I choose the former and obviously you choose the latter.

Insurance won't bring you back to life, but it's your life so do what you want. I'm just trying to be helpful but you seem to know it all.
