Second Skin Thermal Block Hood Liner - SMD Chevy Tahoe

This is the install of my new hood liner from Second Skin. I decided to use "Thermal Block" so almost no heat radiates through my hood with that brand new paint on it. This also helps with some of the noise from under the hood. Of course, a layer of Damplifier Pro before that, just like the rest of the Tahoe.

@JordanFreak96 i didnt seal the engine compartment shut just dont want noise and heat radiating up through the top....did you miss the part where i showed myself replacing the STOCK heat sheild? In other words, the factory had one i just replaced it with a better one. Dont worry the heat gets out just fine just not directly thru my new paintjob.

This has to be the most wicked truck on the planet!
Keep up the great work Steve.

@boxingboxers the heat gets out fine just not thru my hood and my new paint. Hence the reason there was one there stock. I didnt put something that wasnt supposed to be there i replaced something that WAS there with something that is better. Its not air tight, air still gets out BTW.

@ChevyRida2007 i have one of those just havent put it in yet (the 160 degree thermostat)..i wonder what benefit it would have for me

[jjchargerboy]

wow, now that I've seen a demonstration of how the thermal blocker works I needs some for my hood.

@krewking801 maybe you should clean it up for me. The broom is over there in the corner.

@ehsbirdman1 you gotta do just a little modding but you can get it in there bro :) I think i posted pics/vids of how i did it in the Caddy i built a few years back.

[BIGSWOLEBEATS]

A decade later, still holding strong!!! #TeamSecondSkin

[baaudio]

it would have been cool if you used your thermal scanner to get the temp from before and after hoodliner. but that stuff looks really clean. always a good job man!

[CoDxboxVideos]

not only do your alternators produce noise....but so does that K&N Cold Air have the same thing on my truck....and it made it alot louder.

@meade916 Awesome. I've wanted to sound/heat proof my car for a while but wasn't sure how to do it. Have u got any vids on dynamating a firewall?

[Speedy]

[JeremyEwart]
