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.

its the flat form fitted that I'm looking for not the thick insulation

How close to factory is the hood insulation from Classic Industries? I was it for my 89 but don't want to order from multiple places trying to find the "right" look.

it was exact shape but did not have the metal layer that was on the underside

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.

Why the big want for hood insulation? I've ran a fiberglass hood sans insulation without any problems for six years.

If it came with it from the factory - I want it and I want it to look as close as factory as possible. That's my reasoning anyway, not sure about anyone else.

What problems would you expect to get from this? The insulation is not to protect the hood from heat, it's a sound deadener.

I've just heard off excessive engine heat reducing the life span of the paint on the hood directly over the engine. Never knew how true that was either, as I have had 0 problems.

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.

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?

Do a search for foil backed 82 Camaro hood insulation. I know I've seen it somewhere.

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.

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.
