2001 was the last year for the hood liner. Lots and lots of people with 2001 & earlier cars have removed it as their very first mod, it probably weighs about 20lb.

It's primary purpose is noise reduction but I also have heard it is fire retardent, more likely it is somewhat fire resistant.

fire retatarded is more like it, my 91 4cyl mustang's alternator caught fire and after i put it out (yah i put it out) the hood line was still burning inside the layers!!, however it didn't burn my hood go figure
