I like the idea of having one, Is it really needed, I don't think so, I have seen a few on here that just painted the inside of the hood...

Many people on this forum have done what you want to do. There was another thread on this subject just last week. I believe the main purpose of the hood pad is for sound deadening of engine noise.

When I put my MCM hood on my '00 I did not run a hoodliner and there were no adverse effects on the paint. If you want to take it off and do some custom painting, go for it. Should look great.

I still havn't decided whether or not to take it off. I might just paint the Corvette logo and make it look nice.
