- The improvement is especially noticeable on older 1950s-1960s hoods that tend to resonate like "kettle drums," while newer, more rigid hoods gain enhanced overall comfort.
Polished Aesthetics & Protection:
- Hides unsightly under-hood structure and blemishes, delivering a clean, factory-fresh or custom appearance ideal for restorations, daily drivers, or show vehicles.
- Engine-Safe Design: Maintains essential 1-inch clearance from components like air cleaners to ensure proper airflow and heat dissipation.
Durable Construction & Materials:
High-impact, high-temperature ABS plastic panel (0.075" thick) for lasting durability. HeatShield barrier insulation panels dampen vibration, protect painted surfaces, and block heat and noise transfer into the passenger compartment.
