    I would just take it off. aftermarket hoods do not even have it. just have fun and start pulling, the little plastic things will pop right off

            I took mine off, and I have had it off for almost a year now, with extreme cold and heat, and never had a problem with it messing up the hood.

              My current car never came with one...


              besides I heard they are a safety hazard... if you spray oil/gas or anything flammable it sort of soaks it up, and then you have a flammable soaked sponge on top of your motor.

                      I have pics of mine in my sig (cardomain) but mine did not come with one. Its a 02 so I don't think they used them in the newer models.

                        Besides a possible heat shield since its fiberglass, wouldn't it be sound deadener? My car doesn't have one either

                          I have also heard that they are used to snuff out small engine fires....How much of this is true I do not know.

                            I believe their purpose is to be a sound deadener. My after market hood doesn't have one, and I've never had a problem without it. I even got creative with the large space under the hood and had vinyl graphics reading "98 PONTIAC Firebird" installed. Just something unique. I have a pic of it somewhere on my car domain site. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/857214
