Bummer .. . The hood liner is a fire retardent. It is your first line of defense against an engine fire.

Is there a way to install one?

They are mounted with plastic rivets. The rivets are meant to burn away when a fire starts, and the liner falls down to smother the fire.

Ah, I see. Pretty niffty.

Burn off the ones on your stock hood, & re-rivet with some new ones..
