Yeah, I'll +1 to that. I hate it when I buy a used car and it's got place holders for all the options I could have had.

Come springtime I'm cleaning up my interior; I'm removing the carpet.

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.

I would buy one.... but I don't want to pay $60... i'd be willing to buy a used one... If I could get it at my doorstep for around $30.
Don't know how much it would cut down on sound... but any amount would be nice. I hate road noise with a passion. |

Have you noticed much difference in noise level now that you've had it for a day or so?

a price of approx $370.00NZ ($214.00US ). Thankfully Sparks Toyota in the US will supply and ship one to me for $US118.00 still exspensive but worth it, if it close's the gap on top of the AFE intake. |

Be advised that insulator comes in a folded piece of cardboard taped shut. Hope it survives it's long journey. Don't forget to order the pins too! 5 needed. Wow, guess I got quite a deal @ $60USD.

conicelli Toyota of Springfield, PA.
I use them since I'm in NY so the stuff arrives next day usually. They throw the coffee mugs in the boxed orders....

doubt it would cut down on noise, it probably does insulate heat more in the winter, and probably more then you'd want in the summer time.

I really hated seeing that bare painted steel subframe under the hood. This seems to streamline a lot and give a nice finished look.
I saw it on a EU owner's car and then I HAD to have one!

Before installing mine I darkened it by spraying black engine enamel on it. Soaked it right up and looks great I think. You could use other colors too if you liked. There's also a depression beneath the hood right below the one with the hole in it where the hood support fits. I duplicated the hole of the upper on the lower one which holds the hood wide open. Great for repairs. Obviously comes this way in other markets.

I should add that in my 2012 Yaris SE hatchback, the local mice tore off most of this insulation material to make their nasty little nests with, including on top of my cabin air filter just behind the glove compartment. So, I'm reluctant to spend $100+ just to buy them some new bedding material, those rodent bastards!
