I need to replace mine as well. Ford sells them, but Autozone and so on does as well.

I bought both the Hood Insulatt and Blanket from Ford. But I reused my clips because I was careful taking them out. The ones Ford gave me were not the correct size. The circle on the top was too small

how much did they bang you for that? it's the only used looking part left on my car.

Keeps the heat away from the composite hood,
saves the paint, and keeps the "tick" noise down as stated earlier.

I was careful with the clip removal, bought spray dye and shot it black. Good as new.:smokin:

I threw mine in the garbage... Clips available in the Help section at most auto part stores.

Yeah I got the clips from my local ACE hardware store. I tried painting mine with plastic spray paint. Still looks like crap though.:mad:

Re: Hood Insulator Blanket
 

I spent like 85 bucks on it. I then coated it with 3M fabric scotchguard. Never looked back. IT WAS worth it. :)

Mine was removed when my 3/4 inchspacer wasinstalled. With that and the JLT it had to go.

those hood insulators are only good for making your motor dirty the first time you close the hood after detailing the engine

Re: Hood Insulator Blanket
 

They did help keep down the noise of the injectors lol

I found the clips at my local Lowe's, almost a perfect match, I painted the blanket with Krylon BBQ and Stove Spray Paint, it worked great, looks brand new. All the stains are gone.
