Nothing under there but painted metal. The plastic clips are it - rip em
off and the liner slides off. There are 2 tabs of the liner material are
slipped into slots in the hood frame - this hold the back of the liner
in place.
The sport model comes without the liner. I added the liner to my sport
as it reduces engine noise in the cab slightly and keeps the hood paint
cooler - I liked that tought Ram imprint too. ;)
