nige Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 hi guys,thinking about removing the soundproofing from my tt j-spec on the bonnet,is this likely to cuase any heat damage to the paint/vinyl decals,cheers,nige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Body shop never gave me mine back, that was in June and it's been fine since then. It does get hot but not REALLY hot. Definitely makes the BOV much more noticeable!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Should be fine. Only thing is it acts as a fire blanket should the worst happen. Personally I'll be leaving mine attached (get yer hands away from the engine bay Hadyn!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 C/F hoods don't have sound/heat proofing, so is Carbon Fiber resistant to heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I think it's more for sound proofing and fire retardent than heat protection for the bonnet. CF doesn't hold heat like metal anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
