New Hood?!?!?! Question???
I just got my new Goodmark Cowl Induction hood on the other day.... Its not painted yet... I have a question about the "fabric stuff" thats on the underside of the stock hood..... Does that material need to be put on the new hood... Does that material protect the hood from heat or what.......

Yeah its like a heat deal-and i do believe you keep it but im not sure never actually had an aftermarket hood but i think you keep it and put on the new one. Could be wrong so dont take my word on that.

The fiberglass type stuff is to snuff out underhood fires. That's why they use those thin plastic fasteners. You do NOT need to put it on the new hood. I've had both steel and fiberglass( which I have currently) and never replaced the "fabric". No damage has ever occured to either hood; even in extreme summer-time traffic.

I just read an article in the January issue of Sport Truck magazine where they intalled a Goodmark cowl hood on a Sierra and they transferred the heat shield (that's what they called it) over onto the Goodmark hood. There was a picture of the guy doing it and the comment read "Now all the hardware and heatshield must be transferred to the cowl-induction hood". If it's your daily driver, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't put it on. If you're a racer and you want to shave off a few pounds, that's a different story. I know that when the day comes that I get my Goodmark cowl induction hood (hopefully next year some time...donations welcome! ), I'm gonna put mine on.

Ive had four different cars with steel or fiberglass hoods and never transfered it over.
Think about this: They made cars for about 80 years befor they started putting that blanket thing on.
