Is it ok to drive the car with no hood insulation? I'm concerned about the heat on the hood paint.

Bought one here last month. I didn't do it myself under the Murphy law rule. Took it to an indy to do. He charged me about $75 to do it. The cost of the pad was about $75 here plus shipping.. $86 in total. Included in his charge was $30.00 or $35.00 he says for the 3M super adhesive (this seems to be the consensus adhesive to use.)
Search around here. There is a thread on this. After reading it, I decided to have someone else do it.
BTW, the dealership pointed it out to me that it needed replacement. Wanted $300.00 to do it.
You can do it yourself, but, iirc, someone suggested having another pair of hands to help in setting the new one up.
Here's one thread.
