Hood insulator replacement

[wtsn8ke]

Just wondering if anyone has replaced their insulator with this one i saw on Ebay.

1964-2011 Mustang/COBRA/SVO Hood Liner Insulation Pad - eBay (item 190500989966 end time Feb-18-11 09:56:38 PST)

Looks pretty nice. Wondering how hard is the install and if quality is good. Anyone?

I just ordered one this weekend. Gonzalo - the guy who makes them is really a good guy to deal with. I'll let you know what the quality is like as soon as I get it. Apparently you have to take the hood off for the install. Seems drastic, but we'll see.

Awesome. Please let me know how much of a PITA it is and post up pics!

Rip it off and get the underside of the hood finished and painted.

I like mine without the insulator.

if it is the same guy he makes them out of this bad ass aircraft material. I love these too but instead i went with the finished underhood as well. But the color matched cobras are b/a imo

It looks great but seems pretty thick.. Wouldnt this keep more heat under the hood?

the other aspect is that the insulator is also a fire suppresant supposed to melt drop and kill the fire). will the new one do that?

I actually have one i bought from him about 3 years ago. It is way to thick and didn't match up to my factory insulator push pin holes.So now i use it for a mat when i am working on the car.

I believe so.

Well that's no good! I should be getting it any day now, and I'll post up my impressions of it when I do. As for the install, when I get back from Miami it's next on my list - so about two weeks. :beer:

I had to notch the hood for '03 motor so I need something to cover it. I hope it's not too thick 'cuz that sure won't work for me. He says that it gives more room than stock though. Maybe he uses thinner material now?

Ok the insulator came in today. It's about a .25 inch think, and requires you use 3m spray adhesive to keep flush up against the hood. You still use the factory push pins too. I'll install very soon and post up photos.:beer:

Awesome. Look forward knowing how the install goes and seeing the pics.
