A hood is more than just a hinged cover that protects your engine. The many parts of a hood determine just how well they do their job, after all. One with a cowl screen, for example, protects your air intake system, and this indirectly protects other engine parts. A decklid, for instance, is really a kind of hood: whether you call it that or not, it's just another word for "hinged trunk cover" -- your trunk lid.

Other than a cowl screen, the parts of a hood can range widely. The long list of them can include everything from a bumper, lift support, and safety catch to a release lever, weather stripping, and even a lock. Each has a different job, too.

Bumpers, for instance, properly align your hood and fenders. Lift supports, on the other hand, prop the hood up. Safety catches, though, help keep your hood from popping open during a drive.

Release levers let your hood back down. Weather strips keep water and debris from infiltrating. Locks can help keep others from opening your hood and gaining access to your sports car's engine.

Plenty of other hood components, ranging from clips and adjusters to liner rivets, ensure proper fitment. These aren't all a hood can have, either.
