Default Custom hoodliner question?

A s we all know, Paula is the best. I'm thinking of buying a custom hoodliner from her. My question is, would you leave it on your car all the time, or just for shows and special events and then take it off and put on your old one? Thanks for any help.

I have one of the first PaulaH hood liners - approximately 5 years and continually on the car(s) : (it was removed from my '99 and installed on my '04).

It does not pay to remove it for driving, and reinstall it for shows. It may get a little 'dirty' in driving, but can be cleaned. As a note, if you install the hood seal the 'dirt' will be minimized.

Also, if you look at Paula's site you'll see my hood liner pictured (AC54ME). As I am going to install (next week) a Motor City hood on my '04 (as I have allready done on my '99) I will be selling it!

I think you would risk tearing it by constant removal/putting it back on.

Paula is the best!!!

Hi... This is so cool, I am logging on from R. I.!

Most just keep the liner on. Now, if it is a daily driver, it might tend to get dusty sooner, but if you drive it as many of us do, a few times a week, it stays nice and is not harmed...

Paula:

I've never seen it posted, but what do you charge for the standard C5 SILVER/PEWTER liner.

Thanks

Dave
