    Floormats and hood insulation NLA?

    Are they? Any aftermarket sources or possibly OE?
    Thanks!

    I couldn't find OE mats or anything attempting to recreate them. You can see my recent thread detailing my experience with Lloyd's ultimats.

    Thanks guys.
    So, what does everyone do for the hood insulations? Anything that can be made to work?

    I would play the long game. Keep an eye on parts car listings here and on the various Facebook groups.
    That's how I snagged mine a couple of years ago (before the recent, but very short lived production run)

    There may be other options, but none that look OEM

    I still have 2 brand new hood pads but I'm keeping them to use.
    With very gently settings, dry ice treating existing hood pads can be miraculous. Unless they are ripped and torn, this is the way to go

    A dry ice treating? Mine is torn, but I have others that are not torn and could use some rejuvenation, if possible. Could you elaborate?

    PS: If you ever decide to let go of one of the pads for a car that is undergoing a full restoration, let me know. I'll buy you an original OE one for free if they are ever re-released as a favor. Thanks!

    Hi

    I need a hood insulation. As already pointed since a while, this part is NLA. Do you know any alternative to replace it ? Does it exist some close material ?

    Thanks
