Re: Hood Insulation
Not sure what you mean by sleeker. What's wrong with the Classic Industries part in comparison to what you are looking for. There are plenty of places to get the 82-84 hood insulation if you do a google search. That's why I'm asking what you're really looking for.

Re: Hood Insulation
Do another google search. I've seen them available with the foil backing while looking for a new hood pad for mine. Just not sure where I've seen them.

Re: Hood Insulation
I searched for months for the proper GM molded one with aluminum backing. Couldn't find anything but cheap repros. I got mine from the "4 miles IROC" guy, who got a Crossfire one, from GM by mistake.
I believe, the one I have is the last one available in the country.

Re: Hood Insulation
Bringing another thread back from the dead -- I'd like to find new insulation for my CFI car too and I'd like the foil backing. It looks like the repros from Rick's (Ecklers) and Classic are the right shape, but don't have the foil.
Anyone know if there is a foil material that could be added to the repro part? Maybe a foil designed as a sound deadener/heat insulation for interior carpet?

Re: Hood Insulation
No dice on that Scott. I saw you other post about doing that and all Google gives me is references to posts here on TGO, some eBay auctions, links to the Rick's and Classic parts and then it gets into a bunch of non-Camaro related stuff.

Re: Hood Insulation
I have yet to install my OEM replacement insulation. But what I did with the cheap repro that's on there now, is carefully peel off the factory foil backing from the trashed original one and sandwich it on the back of the repro before installing onto the hood. Unless you are familiar with what you are looking at, you can't tell, for the rest of us, it's about an 80% solution.
