I pulled mine off and did notice it running a little cooler, but I changed my intake pipe and have since changed the waterpump and thermostat, so it could be any of the things mentioned.

I meant it might discolor the paint on top of the hood as well as the inside. I suppose it would take a LONG time, but I imagine it could happen. The one other thing I always worried about was the hood making contact with the battery terminals. Then again I have an aftermarket battery.
Is this my 0.03?
