DIY: Liftback Hood insulator install PICS
Well, it arrived today along with some other stuff.
Here you see the "box" (a folded over piece of cardboard). Close up of part #. Baggie of hood clips, you need 5, I bought 6. Insulator was $58USD , clips about $1USD apiece.

Thanks!
![]() So it appears this part is readily available in the USA, BUT they are'nt in any of the LB's sold there. There must be a big pile of these things in a warehouse somewhere..... ![]() What a waste......

I can tell just by looking at it that it's designed to be a flame retardant. Thanks for sharing.

What exactly is a hood insulator supposed to do and how does that function justify the price? Just curious. I live in interior AK and engine warmth is a big deal for short trips around town.

Oh, and did I mention it just LOOKS GOOD too? ![]() My old twin cam Saturn had an insulator, my single cam Saturn did not. That used to bug the heck out of me!

All the same reasons I came up with when I changed mine. Main reason I got mine was to maybe help the 3m clear film to last the 7 years its supposed to last, stay adhered and not discolor on me.
