Default Lets put it this way, my S4 has it in place and the hood's paint is nice and shinny...
my '98 A4 did not come with one and the paint is loosing the clear coat (badly).

It provides padding when you hit the back of your head on the hood

if one were to leave off the foam/cardboard liner under the hood, would it damage the paint?
