What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Watched from across the street as a guy backed up into my front bumper and parked it there. Still, he and his wife tried to say it was my fault when I wasn't even in the truck! As I was "talking" with him, he just drove off!

Lowe's should have it and ACE Hardware if you have one of those. Home Depot and Lowe's sell it for about $6 a can around here, but the hardware store sells it for $8 a can....
 
Nice job Willy. If there's not a forum writeup on that, I'd love to do that too.

As for me -- my Monday playtime in the sand really got my TE dirtier than I thought. Sand and sand dust in and all over the rig. Nasty business.

Full interior detail with quick exterior wash in SF before work today.

The main reason I got it was to protect my hoods paint from the heat from the engine. It is a super easy install, just expensive (I paid $189 for the insulation and $10 for the clips)

I am not sure if it will work for TEs though because of the hood scoop. Even if a hole was cut in the insulation for the scoop, I think air may still flow between the hood and insulation....

Here are the parts you need:

Insulator, Hood
53341-35160

Clip, Hood Insulator (10)
90467-A0003

Then all you do is slide the 2 tabs of the insulation into the rear of the hood, align the holes, and push in the 10 clips. Takes about 2 min... TEs may be better off just using dynomat.

I understand the hood scoop on the TE is ornamental and not a true hood scoop in the traditional sense. While I'll agree that some air will likely (naturally) flow into the engine compartment via the TE's scoop, I'm not sure if it will be enough to affect the insulation mounting or performance.
