I removed the hood blanket and in the corner of the hood on the passenger side right next to the cowell is a flat, wide silver wire that looks like a ground. I was wondering what this is and does it need to be reconnected to another ground. I put the loop end over my strut tower and it is just sitting on it, any help is appreciated. Thanks

No, you are fine. The car's ground is the chassis/engine block. Clarification - forget about the ground wire. Don't bother with it after removing the hood liner.

It is just used to set up a ground plane with the foil from the insulator.

You don't need it.

I heard if you take it off you lose 10-20HP...:rolling:
Just curious. When you removed your hood pad did you find your paint to be finished or unfinished (flat)?
