u mean the thing on the underside of the hood? If so that can be removed, I havent seen mine since the day I bought my car, Keep in mind tho that underneath it will be REALLY dirty, im in the porcess of cleaning/painting the underside of my hood so I can add something I'll reveal in a couple weeks

I agree. I have F1 hood. I don't have black thing under it. I don't think they are worth to keep it. I haven't seen what is under stock hood. I'm sure it looks better without it.

Isn't that thing used to keep heat from effecting paint? I'm not 100% sure exactly what its used for...im thinking of removing mine it looks bad.

It's main purpose is to limit the amount of noise emmitted from the engine compartment. There are plenty of GPs running around with out it and no one has complained of heat damage. The hood doesn't get that hot.

Looks like I'm taking that thing off!. Mine was hanging because it's so old. But I'm putting a tarp over my engine because I just cleaned it!
