I did the foil delete but don't believe I would remove hood insulation b/c it helps to keep the engine heat off the hood and would protect the hood if the Serpentine belt was to break IMO

yea, ive never heard of anyone taking off the hood insulation. Might be confused with the foil delete mod, if you consider that a mod I guess
