It's already dirty so ya know it's not an escalade! Why remove it?

 

Just to update this.
I forgot I even removed mine!!!! It's been months now and no issues. Looks better IMO.
So if anyone else is pondering ripping it off... Doit!!

 

my '07 X did not have it but my '09 Rubi does. it's model ugrade for sound deadening. That stuff won't do crap it a fire. I'd say if your someplace warm year round you really don't need it but for those of us who live in freezing temps 1/2 the year it helps.

 

Mine fell off in the middle of mud puddle/water forging and the only problem I ran into was that my hood gets hotter now. As matter of fact like someone said earlier, when I go into a water hole after it gets hot it will cause my hood to buckle. Then after a little while the dent pops back out until the next water hole. I guess it is really thin metal and can't handle the heat. My hood is jacked now so I don't even worry about it any more.

 

mine is falling apart... i'm going to remove it next spring. might as well keep it for the winter while i have it.

ps. for those who still have it, and want it. don't hit it with the pressure washer!

 

I had the hood liner in my jeep. To say the least I RIPPED it out!! i like using the underside of my hood for all my stickers of parts ive installed or trails ive ran! I like keeping them for the memories!! Prolly not the best place for em but...its more discrete and i dont like my jeep clutered with stickers on the outside

 

Yea no pressure washer directly on it. It will rip like crazy.

remove it and spray the underside of the hood with high heat paint, like for exhaust or headers
