Hey everyone,

Many new-gen Tacomas and 4Runners don't come with a factory hood insulation mat, which is a shame. A powerful engine brings equally powerful noise. Plus, intense engine bay heat can overheat the metal hood, eventually causing your exterior paint to fade.

To protect your paint and quiet your ride, we offer Hood Insulation Mats designed specifically for the 2025-2026 4Runner and 2024-2026 Tacoma.

We construct these mats from premium, heat-resistant PET felt. This odorless material is oil-resistant, flame-retardant, and built to withstand engine bay conditions without warping or shrinking over time. Installation is quick and drill-free. The mat snaps directly into the existing factory mounting holes under the hood, and we include all the clips you need.

With hood mats, weight is key. If it's too heavy, it strains your hood struts; if it's too light, it won't block heat or sound. We balanced the density of our PET felt mat to ensure insulation while remaining lightweight.

Because of this balanced weight, our mat works beautifully with our hood struts. In fact, many owners grab our insulation mat and custom hood struts together for a complete engine bay upgrade.

I will pass on this. Has no value, increases running temperature.

The issue with them here in the extreme south of Florida is the engine compartment temp increased 25 degrees.

In a hot place, it comes down to a personal trade-off. Some owners prefer to protect their hood paint, while others prioritize keeping under-hood temps cool.
