Aluminum Hood Liners

There has been a long absence of a high quality custom hood liner for Turbo Regals. We are now offering the Boost Liner product line. The original hood liners are hard to come by these days with no word of anyone coming out with a true reproduction. The Boost Liners are constructed from aluminum and then are painted matte or gloss black. Gloss black will reflect your motor compartment so if you have a show worth motor you might want to show it off more with this finish. Vinyl graphics are then added. I have been wanting to bring a product like this back to our site again and have been approached by this new manufacturer about selling them. They are a perfect fit to the custom items we have been selling for more than 25 years and we are more than happy to take them up on their offer.

They look very similar to the original without the hassle of worrying about it getting torn and how to safely clean without ruining it. They simply wipe off. Please be sure to check for clearance on your up pipe if you are running a non stock size up pipe. On my own GN that has a 70mm throttle body and a 3" up pipe, it just barely rubbed but just made some adjustments with my up pipe and hose to get enough clearance. I also run a RJC Power plate that add just about a 1/4" of height. A 10th hole is added to the Boost Liner which will help with clearance issues. That hole is already in the hood so makes sense to use it.

A few other things can cause clearance issues, worn body mounts that will move the hood closer to the motor, worn transmission mount that will cause the motor to tilt up a bit. I suggest that a 10th hole be added to the Boost Liner which will help with clearance issues in the up pipe area. That hole is already in the hood so makes sense to use it. Just want to make you aware so you don't just mount the Boost Liner and slam the hood! Make sure you check for clearance!

The included Plastic Rivet style fasteners hold it tighter to the hood than the GM ones. You also want to make sure you use t bolt clamps on your up pipe hose connections so you don't blow the up pipe off. The last thing you want to do is ruin your new Boost Liner by denting it. I have installed hood liners by myself with one of our fender covers and plenty of blankets to protect the liner and your paint job. I highly suggest and extra set of hands to help with the installation if possible.

These will also fit the 84-5 non-intercooled Turbo Regals as well as the 86-7 Intercooled cars, no need to use the stock heat shield on the 84-5 cars. Will look much cleaner.
