I cutout the slots where my hood vents are in the liner, I'd leave it honestly it will help with paint conservation by not getting direct heat, specially in fl

My car doesn't currently have the hood liner. Maybe it was removed already, or it never had one (early vin #...000815, m/y 2008). Could you provide a pic?
Thx in advance,
Dennis

Its more sound insulation than heat, no worry for the paint. Removed that from my previous cars with no issue at all
