Supposedly, you're supposed to see if you have snow/ice on your hood as your engine heats up.

I wouldn't know, I'm in central texas. I'll see ice/snow once or twice every few years.

Sucks that they cover it up. I bet the guy that designed the stamping was bummed when he found out too. lol

It is only meant to be seen when there is a frost. Under the right conditions the pony will be visible on your hood.

Yep ... they could have easily put the same stamping in the hood liner and had both. See when opening the hood, and see on frosty mornings on the outside.

I've been hearing that since last year, yet I don't recall a single pic of this happening over the winter... Further, if that was the reasoning for it why would it be upside down as viewed with the hood closed?

I've seen pics of it and it does show on the hood, but you are right - why would they put it upside down?? that pony is clearly meant to be seen while the hood is popped open!(with liner removed)

I haven't looked yet but can you remove the liner and put it back? How easy is it to remove? I'm thinking about removing mine for shows. Is it strictly for sound or does it help with heat as well?

Oh and someone please make a decal overlay for this!

The liner is cake to remove. Pull out the clips and it comes right off.

Technically it would trap more heat in. And if you have an aftermarket exhaust you will not notice any sound difference.

I just did a Google search and found this...
An automotive hoodliner is an essential piece of your car’s protective equipment. Attached to the underside of your car’s hood, the hoodliner prevents the extreme heat of the engine and other components in the engine compartment from transferring that heat to the hood, causing warping, paint and finish melting, and other safety issues. The hoodliner also acts as a heat disperser, helping the engine stay cool by drawing the engine’s heat into the hoodliner and dispersing it more effectively. A hoodliner is also an essential element in protecting the driver and passengers in the event of an engine fire, blocking flames and heat from reaching the car’s occupants. Most cars are also designed to allow the hoodliner’s attachments to quickly melt in the event of a fire, allowing the liner to fall onto the flames and help to smother them.

I'm surprised someone hasn't cut an oval out of their hood liner to match the oval around the pony so you can see it with the liner installed.

Or someone in the aftermarket making a liner with either the oval cut out, or a matching embossed area on the hood liner.
