Hood Insulator.....?

Hood Insulator.....?
Yesterday I open my hood to find half of the insulator torn and hanging off the hood. I also found the pieces dropped in the bottom of the engine bay. I went head a ripped the rest from the hood. I priced a new one, and they cost $90. My question is can I survive without it damaging my paint on the hood from heat? Do I need to replace the insulator? Thanks for your help!

The same thing happened to me while I was under warranty. I had them replace it with a new black one. Apparently, the '04 TL had a liner that didn't fit very well, so Acura redesigned it with a better fitting one.

No liner for over a year and a half no blistering.
If you are worried about it put some heat resistant paint on the bottom of the hood. Cheaper than 90$ cardboard.
