I have a 95 ESi..
Just wondering..
Can I remove the heat shield on the hood?
The aluminum foil-like covering looks cheap and crappy.. so I was just wondering what would happen if I remove it..

Thanks

It's not a heat shield. It's a fire blanket. If you have a fire then the plastic "hooks" melt and the blanket falls on the engine.

uhhhhh, dude... mine came with metal hooks, not the plastic push pin type things... guess I am screwed, then...
I always thought it was a heat shield.

Me: Can I put that in my sig?
Dark0ne95: GO right fucking ahead.

Maybe you guys have something different than me. Mine has plastic hooks and NO tin foil type stuff :/

I thought the material melts and just falls down and suffocates the fire.

It looks like a piece of card board, with aluminum foil wrapped around it..

Can I just install a fire extinguisher system? Like those overhead sprinklers

Thanks for all the replies..

But what does everyone else have?..

Can you post some pics?

Thanks

I got rid of the stock 2gnt "blanket" and replaced it with a stock turbo heat shield. It has the same mounting locations as the GS-T's. You might need to buy some new push-in plastic tabs to lock it in.

thats funny my car never came with one

The 2GNT is Gone... and the curse too!!

a fire extinguisher system can run expensive. if u were serious. I think they range like 500-1500.

My car is a 98, and has no foil type deal, but its just that blanket type. Matt_95tgs's car is a 95 and has the shiny foil type one on his car..both look the same and mount the same, one just looks diff than the other. I always thought it was for keeping extreme engine temps from baking/melting the hood paint...more of an insulator really..
