I'm not joking. I weighed it. Shit's mad heavy with some kind of foam under the cover.

I've seen plenty of hoods damaged by extensive heat. The paint isn't unkillable. Better ask then having to repaint the whole thing.

you'll be fine if you take it off and toss it in the trash it's a fuckin piece of plastic.
and yes they put it there to cover the mess of shit underneath

Learn to greentext correctly then come back

Removed mine from my G37 and have been driving it like that for 2 years now. No problems at all

He probably is lying but on certain engines like reverse flow heads with turbos in the valley they serve their purpose

Fibreglass hoods maybe, or cheap rattle can spray jobs. A real paint job will be fine for the life of the paint (7-12 years) if driven daily.

>Will I damage anything
I've seen more than one old car hood have that "heat soak" clear coat damage in arizona. So if you live in a hot climate, the surge of engine heat on your paint will be pretty strong in the summer.

Why would that matter?

Aerodynamics, sound insulation, heat insulation, and to prevent you fucking with the engine.

Not when Ahmed does it

All those covers do is help deaden the noise of a loud engine and make them look better.

Ditch the bitch
