Default Hood Fire Prevention Liner Removal
Hey Everyone,

This might be a simple question, and I figure its straight forward, but I'm just worried the pins on the fire prevention liner...Are they one time use? They seem like they are gonna be a pita to take out...

Is this true?

A trim removal tool from Auto zone for $6 will make your life a lot easier....and if they do break they sell them in 2 packs for 1.99.

definately buy that tool. Makes the job so much easier and less likely to break.

I will let you know, the sewing should be finished Wednesday, but I'm headed to Cincinnati Thursday for a Scion Promotion until Sunday, and then I will probably wire it up Sunday afternoon, and then, If I can find a digital camera, get some pictures Sunday night...

Yes its lighting related!

Isn't it supposed to help keep the engine heat from damaging the paint?

No you don't. It was the first thing I removed when I got my car, it acts as a sound deadening/paint protection object. (not fire prevention, those things burn like gas soaked paper. Unless scion did something special for their cars)

As far as being ugly, its the bottom of the hood, its your cars color. Not really ugly. But everyone has their 2 cents.

Its not there to prevent fires. It's there to fall when there is a fire, land on the flame and extinguish it.
