Driven without hoodliner installed?
Can the car be driven without the hoodliner installed?
I'm in the middle of DIY painting my hoodliner, but it's a nice evening and the wife wants to take the vette to dinner since it's my B-Day.
Just want to make sure the heat won't damage the finish, or zaino on the hood.

Shouldn't be a problem. I know a few that took their hoodliners off and one that painted the underside of the hood instead of the hoodliner.

Most aftermarket high rise hoods do not use the hood liner.
You will be just fine.
