i've noticed on alot of pics that ppl have removed the ugly heatproofing from the underside of the bonnet.
how is this possible while not causing the paint on top to peel or fade?

My EA fairmont Ghia does so did my EA S pack, I dont advise moving it, because when I rolled my car it was the only thing stopping the battery from shorting out and the car catching fire

i think it looks better than just a normal panel, and the falcon motors are a bit on the noisy side so it is best there

Its for noise and thats about it, I removed mine as it was falling about and a little oil soaked, having none is not a problem, but I do think it looks alot tidier with it.

I've still got mine despite it having a big tear. A while ago, the clips that hold it were falling out causing it to hang down, where it was blown around by the fan, causing it to tear. Since then, I've replaced the clips and it won't be going anywhere now!

Faded bonnets are SO common on VN commodores and I'm assuming it's partly caused by no under bonnet insulation. Seeing them is a daily reminder that it's probably a good idea to leave it there.
