it depends, i had no hood mat on mine and the paint went to shit from the heat, some dont, some do. as for the fire wall, i took mine out on the motor swap and now i wish i had left it in, my feet get soo hot when crusin uni. i have the super doot cat for the svt, but still it cuts down on heat and noise.rsheak02 wrote:I'm thinking about taking the cover/mats off my fire wall and hood. Any reason why I shouldn't? All they do is collect dirt and crap, and it'll clean things up.

after mid 02 they stoped using them, sept on the svt, to cut cost. if you look hard enough youll find they, in 01-02 shortened the throttle cables for 2 reasones, one cut cost, two stop a gas pedal vibe. also in late 02 they cut about half the sound deadener they used in the foci.grocerygetter wrote:And then there's the save a buck anyway you can 06 I own that has neither, maybe because it's an SE and not an SES.
