film underneath the hood

[FuryCharger]

u know the silvery foam underneath the hood? kinda seems like a heat shield of some sort? is cool if i took that off?? or should i leave it on

[ChronoGN]

I would leave it on.
I think it protects the hood from getting too hot and paint chipping.

my 02 bird didnt come with one. (new from factory) Iv never seen one on any 00's or newer.

Also iv been told its there incase the engine catches fire, its suposed to fall off and smother the fire but i dont think it ever worked that good so they just stoped putting it in.
