Default Underhood liner WOW!

So my liner fabric is delaminating, and I've searched through hundreds of posts on the subject seeing they were available from the dealership around the $100 mark. Called the local dealer..... $200.92. Ouch. Next dealer $186.56. This is getting it in with their regular parts order.

Think I'll go a different route.

Doesn't seem that bad to me, but try Vettenuts and the like.

My understanding is the shipping on them can run in the $100 range. I was just surprised the price seems double what guys were quoting last year from dealerships.

$202 for a hoodliner does seem rather high. Haven't priced one for a while, but last time I did, the price was around $140.

Car Motorsports makes beautiful under hood insulators. You can design one to your liking. They are a little more than double the price of a factory liner, but very nice show quality. I had one for my car until I got a MCM hood and sold it to a friend in my local Corvette club.

Was your liner in decent shape when you recovered it? My fear is if I remove the remaining fabric from mine, the glue may not adhere to the fuzzy fibers.

Got mine at a dealership one of the plus things was IF the hood liner had been damaged in shipping it was on them...and I just took the old one off and had the new push in hold downs...so...you can install it at the dealership...no fuss, no muss

I found the dealer was my best option and pricing.
I also had an embroidered cover put on, my previous underwood liner was not in great shape and wanted a good based.
Shipping from a third party was very high, is a sizable item to ship. Better thru the dealer's logistics.

Mine was in descent shape, but unless yours is really messed up, you should be able to level it out first.
