    has anyone removed their hood liner?

    Are there any consequences in doing that? I read that it will make the engine a bit louder. I'm all for that. But will it make the hood hotter or damage the paint?

    Mine's removed; pulled it out when I attempted re-inserting the little tabs at the edges & they just crumbled in my hands. So far no noticeable difference / problems . . . so far.

    Did the ZHPMafia hood liner project ever get traction?

    I thought Marcus put the brakes on anything bearing the mafia name without his approval. And since he has been busy my guess is that they never got traction and were given up on.

    JP is still heading this up. They won't be ZHPMafia.com hood insulators. They'll say BMW on them I believe.

    I'm guess the roundel will not be included as it is a BMW trademark...

    I could use a new hood insulator. Mine has shrunk slightly. Side tabs barely go in.
