Hood Liner Options

You can get that gunk off, but let me tell you it takes about a day. I cleaned mine and it turned out great, although it did take forever. My paint is fine as well and black is the worst color as far as showing blemishes.

Friends garage uses brake cleaner ... glue comes off easy. The old foam can be removed with a shop vac.
BTW how many here do not have a hood liner?

Rob Budd, the guy that did my leather dash, has some cool hood liners available.

I haven't tried it myself but I've read good things about them on the 928 forum. You can do plain black, black with silver crest or black with red crest.

I bought a gallon of Xylene at Home Depot. The glue Porsche used for the rear seats is 'poopysnot' and Xylene strips it off like buttah. I was amazed, a stiff brush soaked in xylene and a dry cotten towel removed all traces of adhesive prior to appying the foil insulation for my rear seat/package tray project. If you have any xylene left over, put it in the tank and turn up the boost!

Jaak: I don't have a hood liner. Not sure if I want to put one on or not. I see no issue with the paint on the hood but if someone suggest otherwise I might just install it.

I'll see if others have one or if they removed it, what the difference has been.
