Default New Underhood Liner

After working with Rich over at Car Motorsports I received my new underhood liner today. I bought the kit, which installs over my existing liner, it took about 1 hour to glue it to the old liner. I like it because it raps around the old liner and prevents any separation, which is common with the stock liner.

This is the first of the Commemorative Edition liner Rich has done, it took a while, but I think it came out pretty good. The closeup of the flags gives a good representation of the color of the thread he used in the blue background at the top.

Looks GREAT!!!

I'm ordering a regular C5 liner for mine. They are very good quality. One of our club members has had one for over a year and no problems with glue separation etc.

I've had mine for almost a year and I continue to receive a lot of compliments on it. I love it - and it really dresses up the underhood!


I really like the way your Commemorative came out - kudos to Rich at Carmotorsports!

Its this liner like a thin cloth that you glue on the stock liner? Did you use a spray type glue? What is the price? Looks great!

Rich makes a great hood liner kit and the price (Approx $200) is right for us DIY'ers

I also have one in my show car and it is awesome, and I think it will last forever, I hope. They really did an awesome job on your logo, the first I've seen.Enjoy!
