Hood Insulation Replacement
My 2003 Vert's Hood insulation is looking like it needs replacing. Anybody got some ideas. I'm not opposed to something unique. Thanks in advance for the help.

here's some options beyond Paula, although her's are outstanding...
1 - just replace it - do this at a local dealer for about $120. Due to their size, and the fact that they can not be folded or rolled up, you will pay about $70 just to ship them. If yours is just dirty you can restore it with a can or two of high tem flat black spray paint.
2 - replace and mod yourself - get a replacement at a local dealer and paint the C5 logo yourself, or there are decals you can put on.
3 - add an embroidered logo - carmotorsports offers either an installed version, or one you add yourself, and since it completly covers the hood pad, its condition is not as important
