Under hood insulation options
Does anyone make any different insulation material for under the hood of our cars. I don't like the look of the factory stuff. What I have now is some green-ish grey-ish black-ish material.

I've only seen the ads, maybe someone will chime in who has one
I went with this aircraft firewall material (like a smooth - high density foam). Looks a lot better than the originals (to me). They glue it on, not sure if it would work with the factory clips.
Anyway, google "hood liner aircraft" and you'll find the guy selling precut kits.

Apart from Paula's beautiful designs, do you all know of any vendors that sell C3 hood blankets with logo designs ?
I'm not convinced there's sufficient heat to really need one, but I'm not willing to bet new hood paint on it.
Thanks

Been running my ZZ4 for 6 months with the hood paint and the airbrushing with no issues.. And I drive my car a lot.. Think its one of the best things I did to the car.. sure looks killer when im at a show and get a lot of looks... plus its easier to clean the hood if it gets dirty. cant clean up those blankets to easy......
