1976-1979 C3 Hood Insulator Blanket Precision Cut 472800 - OEM Number(s) (472800)
This precision-cut hood insulator blanket shields your C3 Corvette's fiberglass hood from engine heat soak, protecting the finish and keeping under-hood temperatures in check.
This reproduction Corvette hood insulator blanket protects your 1976–1979 C3 from the engine heat that, left unchecked, soaks into the fiberglass hood and can lead to paint damage above. Replacing a worn, sagging, or crumbling original restores proper heat control where it matters most.
Precision cut to fit the C3 hood, it installs cleanly without trimming guesswork and goes right back to doing its job: holding engine heat away from the hood skin so your finish stays protected drive after drive.
