it helps keep the paint from fading and blistering from the heat of the engine
Found out the hard way after removing it from my Beretta. Paint on the hood went bad in less then a year and the clear coat started to peel off. |

there might be different req't for different areas. It is also a fire-extinguishing blanket that covers the engine in the event of an under hood fire.

the Beretta did it cause its a chevy and chevies in my experience have paint problems. and the little I4 doesn't get that hot I'm sure your had the 3.1, am I correct. and I want one so that the hood won't be so hot.

I'm pretty sure it part of the cold weather package. Helps the engine get up to temp sooner.
