Wouldn't it be bad for the hood if it gets hot? Do you have any problems?

snwman · 02-04-2004, 11:47 PM

mine has been off for over 1 yr now no problems to the hood and sik your 100% right collect dirt and look ugly.

AznGA · 02-04-2004, 11:56 PM

I have the SCT hood from the factory, and there is no hood pad on my car, not even really any place to mount it even. I thought that was strange, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that the hood is fiberglass... It seems to sound normal..

matts · 02-05-2004, 10:27 PM

i didn't put it back on my cowl hood on my truck and it worked out just fine, but my hood was also functional and was painted underneath. i didn't want it covered back up

Rba007 · 02-05-2004, 10:31 PM

Ive heard it is actually designed to melt and fall on the engine if a fire were to occurr. Dunno though.

Just a minor note, but the GA WS-6 hood is (much like the WS-6 hood for it's big brother) made of urethane, not fiberglass.

The SD hoods are fiberglass, though, which may have caused some confusion.

Whatever, either way it doesn't have a hood pad, thats the point I was trying to make.

Mine ripped cause it got covered in some chemical so I took it off. There's no paint under it. WTF I say. Just primered and overspray and yes it's the factory paint 100% sure.

MikeSilverGT · 02-07-2004, 12:59 AM

yeah, I got the sc/t hood and didn't bother to take it off and put the pad on the new hood... They ship them to the dealer without a pad too so I don't think it's that important. Besides I doubt it really helps put out an engine bay fire that much anyhow.

If your motor is on fire...I say let the bitch burn and get some insurance money

The SC/T hoods are made out of SMC.

I added the SC/T hood to my 2002. No hood liner. Although the underside of my hood gets dirty it's easier to clean than a fabric hood liner.

wait a minute.... the factory sc/t hood is fiberglass? I just talked to a dealer and they said it was the same material as the stock hood (a.k.a. LEAD) so is this true? fiberglass... wtf if so then the dealer I went to is full of ****

EDIT: sorry I didn't see the next post... that's what I thought it was.

AznGA · 02-09-2004, 10:36 PM

I took mine off today. I dunno what it's made out of, but I was able to rip it easily.

Ludacrisvp · 02-09-2004, 11:41 PM

is there really a noticeable difference sound wise?

AznGA · 02-09-2004, 11:46 PM

I don't think so. But then again, I have SLP exhaust, so I can't really hear the engine. But I am sure it will help when you have WAI set up.
