Most of us remove it because it starts to fall apart into pieces.
I removed mine a little more then a year ago... No problems thus far.
1 year with stock twin heat and 2 weeks with single turbo.
O wait I have a vented hood tho. Probally gets rid of most of the "damaging" heat.
And its carbon fiber.
This makes me wonder about alot of heat/Paint related questions cus o don't know alot about paint and how it works

^ that would be an intresting thread to read. I would like to know the difference between carbon and stock hoods vs paint color retention
