Hoodliners
I've seen many threads about hoodliners and have wondered about their longevity. I would like to put one on my 03 MY vert, but am leery as it is an everyday driver since our 2nd car is a 93 Ruby vert (see sig). Do these hoodliners stand up to the heat etc from the engine? Also, if I used it only for shows etc, would the holddowns/pins (or whatever they are called) hold up to the removal and reuse? Thanks for any imput

Mine held up fine.
The push in retainer pins won't last long taking them in and out. But there only 25 cents at the dealer. I'm sure somebody has them cheaper.
GO for it!

I painted my hoodliner myself using these instructions as a guide. I think it turned out pretty good.
A hood seal (or equivalent 'generic' for half the price at Lowes) will make it last longer.

You can find the replacement hood liner retainer pins at most any auto parts store and are fairly reasonably priced. The ones I bought have a different style clip that holds it in. These new ones are a lot easier to install and remove than the factory ones were. You can remove them by simply pulling out by hand, no special tool is needed for removal.
Only takes me a couple of minutes to remove/ install liner.

They last fairly well, but if you get a lot of dirt or water on them, they can be a little tricky to clean. I used to wipe mine down when I cleaned the car so nothing built up on the liner.
