engine bay padding
is it safe to remove the padding from inside the engine bay?
mine is quite dirty and ratty looking, and i think it would improve the overall appearance if removed.
thanks for the help

I don't think so. I believe that is the heat shield to protect the engine bay if a fire were to occur.
