The hood blanket is a synthetic "felt" like material. After they are water or oil stained they NEVER look right again. For mine I can not get another as they dont make them anymore

Some have tried painting them with varying success.
Hard part with Ford is that some hoods have no paint under the blanket! Just primer so the blanket is a must sometimes.
UGH! I hate you! Every time I see your car I lust for a set of deep dish 10.5s for the back of mine. Going to cry now....................
