The fuck is the name of this thing. Bonnet/Hood blanket? Fire

It's material for mice to build nests under your hood, called the mouse mat

Insulation pad

That there's an engine comfy. It ensures the engine is in a state of maximum comfy when running.

Hood Liner, saves the paint from heat a little bit and muffles noise.

>>17387682
It helps your engine keep warm, and some may run too cold without it.

IT MUST HAVE AN OFFICIAL NAME

WHAT DO MANUFACTURES CALL IT

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>17387741
It isn't even universal within one brand, the last time I had to order one the name was different between the service procedure and the parts catalog so it took forever to figure it out, and I still don't remember what it was called. Most likely going to be Insulation - Underhood or similar

>>17387682
Supposedly falls onto the engine in case of fire. Doesn't seem to work well.

hood pad

>>17388056
I thought it was meant for noise and vibration reduction

Hood Insulation Pad is what most manufacturers call it.

a.k.a.

>Hood Liner
>Bonnet Liner
>Hood Pad
>Bonnet Pad
>Hood Insulator
>Bonnet Insulator

or any combination of the above.

There are some sold from Dynamat that help with sound deadening.

Old myth, shit actually feeds a fire.

>>17388056
>>17389844
yeah that's some ricer/salesman BS, what it CAN do however is prevent the heat of your engine from baking the paint off your hood.

>>17387691
So much this, lol.

>>17387707
Mostly just muffles noise. NHV complaint? Stick a mat over it.

Some old fucker at a car dealer told me that was meant to have the fasteners melt, mat fall on engine, in case of a fire. Fire suppression.

That thing we cut out of S13s when doing RB25 swaps and not changing the engine mounts lmao

Hood insulator, also fire retardant. the plastic clips melt quickly and the material smothers flames.

Again, old myth, quit repeating this shit. First off, the liner will ignite before the plastic clips melt. Then imagine these loose packed fibers soaked in oil vapors falling into a carb backfire. Ask any firefighter, they'll set you straight in a heartbeat.
