TheSubaruJunkie Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Can i just get rid of it.. i mean, it doesnt really serve a purpose does it? Plus I need to cut for my hood scoop, and I dont want it getting in the way. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 It is there do to the additional heat generated from the turbo motor. Chances are with the scoop you will get enough cool air in there to offset the heat. And won't see any heat related discoloration to the hood or paint.

CHIM Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 it's there on all cars stock, turbo or non, it keeps heat from damaging your paint and collets alot of dirt and grease, Take the damn thing out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subi81 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Funny, I was just talking to some friends about it. The only part of the car where the clear coat is peeling off is the hood area. Little background. The car was parked for over 2 years with leaves and stuff landing on it. Mice chewed up the insilation at some time. Not sure if the hood peeled before or after the mice got to the insillation. I guess I am just saying that this MAY happen to your car if you take out the insilation. But like Qman said the hood scoop will probably help. I installed a hood scoop and tore out the rest of the insilation. Any advanced destruction of the clear coat was caused by a high pressure washer more than anything. notice insilation missing (chewed by mice) notice hood clear coat damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 My 98 sedan has that crap, but my 86' doesnt, go figure, like either engine is hotter than one another...lol and the 86' has NO peeling paint on the hood, and its been through a couple of overheats. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
