Default C5 hood liner wanted

Does anybody make a c5 hood liner without the light? I would like to replace mine but where the light is it gets damaged first. If it's not available how about other recommendations.

Not sure how yours gets damaged where the light goes. Can you describe what is happening on your car? Mine has been on the car for years and there is no damage there, even with the light in place.

Seems to rub on the oil filler cap. The mouse chewing on it didn't help either.

Yeah, a mouse would tend to cause a few problems.

As for the oil cap, not had mine hit there. Are the plastic retainers pushed all the way into the hood so that they keep the hoodliner tight up against the hood?

I know some owners report the airbridge will rub up against the hoodliner if not properly seated on the upper radiator shroud pegs, but haven't heard about an oil cap coming in contact.
