2008-2014 Dodge Challenger Notchback Coupe AcoustiHOOD Insulation Kit with Rigid ABS Hood Liner
Rigid ABS is the heart of this kit. QuietRide Solutions molds the liner for the first-run LC Challenger in black with a leather-grain texture and a smooth center, no logo, so it reads as a factory panel when the hood is up at a cruise night. Behind it sit pre-cut jute heatshield panels with a foil face that fill the bays between the hood's structural ribs. The result covers the bare stamped inner hood that Dodge left exposed on these cars and adds a real barrier between the engine and the paint on top.

Why Challenger Owners Add It
A HEMI or V6 puts a lot of heat into the underside of a large, flat steel hood, and over years that heat works on clear coat and paint, especially on dark colors. The foil-faced jute reflects and absorbs that heat while also deadening the drumming and valvetrain noise that resonates through an uninsulated panel. The ABS layer also hides the blemishes and filler marks that bodywork can leave on the underside of a hood, which matters on a car that gets shown.
Installation
The AcoustiHOOD line uses the factory insulation mounting holes wherever the hood has them, and where a hood needs extra holes QuietRide includes drilling directions and a drill stop sleeve so you cannot punch through the outer skin. Having a helper hold the liner while you start the fasteners makes the job easier, and the illustrated instructions walk through the panel order.
