If you'r not afraid of making "non stock" then some remove this hood lining to help with the heat issue.
I don thave a problem with the rubbing apart from my SL55 air boxes rubbing...I've removed them for now to limit the damage to them and the lining. I need to mount them better and as low as possible.
Also as I mentioned in a previous post - once you break a LHS engine mount - it'll wear a hole if you dont pick it up pronto. Take note NOW of the play in the stick shift and when your engine mount goes - you'll notice this become much larger.
With your mods - and frequent WOT - you will do an engine mount. Find some cheap spares now.
Thanks for that advice. I was told without the lining on the underside of the hood it would of course be noisier and the extra heat could damage the hood's paint.
