T/A hoods didn't come with insulation originally. I would remove it.

Pulled the insulation off and realized it had been installed upside down with the open glass side of the pad facing the engine so several of the retainer buttons had pulled through the pad. There were factory dimpled holes on the front and sides of the scoop opening.

It does look much cleaner without it though.
