Title: Hood insulation, where to get one made with custom decal or emblem?
Post by: canadiancarguy on November 19, 2011, 12:32:02 AM
The 87 cougar is getting close to paint, the body work is done, got the trunk lid and underneath the hood painted black, door sills, engine bay and trunk will be getting sprayed black this weekend and the rest of the car will blacked out next weekend. The hood insulation looks like  and is falling apart, I know you can get some custom ones made, but where do I do that?? Thanks,

Sent 2 PMs hopefully I get a response. I was trying to do a search with the forum's search engine and I came up with nothing, but yesterday I tried a search using google and the second or third link was that thread that Chooglin posted above. I don't know seems like all these forum searches don't really work that great.

Please post if you get a response. I'd be interested in getting one too as mine is nearing its last legs...

Thanks Vinnietbird, but I am looking for the black ones that are made with better materials. That insulation stuff goes everywhere I am working under the hood. You tend not to  want to put those things in after you get a mouthful of that .

Yeah that was the guy. Seems to be missing in action....

I went ahead and ordered a sheet of Dynamat Dynaliner in a 1/8" sheet. It goes underneath Dynamat where you would need some sort of insulation or protection against heat. It comes in a 32" X 54" sheet. It says it should be 1/4" to 1/2" thick for under hoods, but I wanna keep weight down. I will let you guys know if this works and how it holds up against engine heat. It is self adhesive and should stay in place if I use the oem clips with it (I have a couple cars with big stereos, that is where I came up with the idea of using the dynaliner, the dynamat sound proofing is too expensive and heavy for under the hood in my opinion).

Hi guys,

I'm still here, and I'm a member of the forum. Sometimes I'm so backed up that the best way to get hold of me is to call! I do answer e-mails but I do get a large volume of them.

Thanks!
