Any one dd their e55 without the underhood carpet ?


any water problems ? even in winter ?


mine got a rip from awhile ago when I was running no engine cover, ive been looking for a new one but no luck and I cant stand the way it looks so im think of taking it out.


thank you for your time !

 

DD mine without it. No problems here.

 

it's a minor weight savings, but be careful, underhood temps may cause premature paint wear..

 

The paint gets hotter in the Florida sun (160F) than it does from radiant engine heat. I personally debunked this one myself.

 

I've had it off since I bought the car plus the rain guard shield so heat escapes through the grill

 

and nothing gets wet ?!!?!?!?!? really ?! I use touchless drive-thru car wash machine in winter... (I got a daily pass). .. it pours large amounts of water on the car.

 

Ive have had mine off for almost two years now. Daily driven...car washes, torrential downpours, track days, drag strips, heat, blah blah blah....no issues.

Do it.

 

considering the ceramic paint gets baked on, I wouldn't worry about under hood temps prematurely wearing the paint

 

thanks guys
