They should put this on myth busters. I've heard of people saying that without a hood liner the paint would baked off. Sounds like total BS to me. Half of all the import and domestic cars out there don't have hood liners, I don't see their paint baking off. I ran without a hood liner with my stock hood for 3 years on my 10 year old paint, no problems ever.

Plus it looks a lot cleaner without it.

I agree...honda paint doesnt compare to bmw quality paint and i never seen the paint "bake" off. Besides in the scorching sun in the summertime i bet that hood gets way hotter than what the engine could ever do. What people think is "baking off" is they were prolly lazy and never maintained the paint with wax and what not. Im not gonna stress- if it goes back on easily then great. If not oh well
