way over $100 here
My 2 local dealers quoted $200.92 and $186.56. I'm going to attempt a diy repair for my delaminating liner this weekend. I'll post a picture thread if successful.

Talked to a guy he said the factory pad has fire retardant in it, designed to save the hood and smother the motor in the event of a blaze. Also he said even the factory pins are important as they melt quick to drop the pad...
Well I don't know if this is a true story or not ??
My under hood pad is ancient and the light socket is shot but at least it's intact with factory pins.

Spray it with tire foam and let it dry. Works great. I did mine in place, just covered the engine and fenders with plastic.
