this same question was asked a while ago and i dont think anyone knew where to get one then. if anywhere, probably GM parts direct. they seem to have everything.

but i say remove it. its not necessary, and it looks better/cleaner without it.

i still have the one on on my stock camaro hood, if interested. But i'd need to check to see how hard it'd be to ship.

If I remember correctly base hood models (Camaro,T/A) have them, the purpose for them is to smather (sp?) a fire. The plastic clips melts of and the insulation falls on the fire, not to mention it keeps the metal hoods cooler to the touch.
