Default Crappy hood insulation liner!!!!!!!!!!

Like the title says. I think the hood liner is a piece of crap. Mine is a year old and is badly separating at the edges. I was going to take it down to paint the center, but I'm concerned it will fall apart. Taking it back to the Chev dealer today. Should get a new one under warranty. It will be the same thing I'm sure. It would be nice if there was a good quality one on aftermarket. Anyone know of one?

The one from Carmotorsports uses the stock hood liner and has a "blanket" that is attached over the stocker. It looks a heckuva lot nicer than a stock one. No disrespect to Paula H and the folks that have one of her pieces of art, but the stock liner is still the stock liner!

Here's a pic of mine......

Man that thing looks good. I've gotta get one of those. My stock liner looks terrible. Belt popped and shredded mine to pieces.

Mine was dong the same thing. I thought it was BECAUSE I painted it.

I used a little 3M #77 Spray adhesive on certain spots and voila! No more separation!

Randy - Nice liner! You ever drive that car?!

Hi Dave - yes I drive it, from the end of the driveway back into the garage!

Seriously, it has almost 50K miles on it and I drive it on cruises and around town at night. I'm prolly no different than the rest of the fanatics here on the CF - drive it 25% of the time and detail and clean it 75% of the time!

Yes, that is the silver metallic thread. It has kind of a gold look under certain light.
