GM Parts Direct lists the hood insulator. It runs about $120 + shipping. You might be able to find a better price by doing a www search.

Not to take away from your search, but just a suggestion, you're probably better off without insulation.
Less heat in the engine bay.

Never seen a peeling/rusting hoods on these vehicles before.
Unless of course wreck, body damage. :P

I also do not have any insulator....but I also took mine out do to the reason Jomao mentioned. We SCed Montes need to try to keep the heat down and with future mods in the works....I fear that it would just get in the way.

As far as I have noticed, it has not hurt the paint on any of the cars that I have seen without the insulators. As for noise, yes it will raise alittle bit but I really don't notice it because of the airbox and supercharger. If I am just cruising down the highway, I only hear the exhaust but if I get on it then it is the supercharger. Granted, if I still had mine installed then it would quiet down the supercharger but I like to hear it. The supercharger sound/badges keeps some people from wanting to street race me.
