Guys I got the heat reflective sheet to replace the hoodliner. I ended up breaking 1 clip in the process and losing 1 clip which fell in a crack between the battery!
But after removing the OEM hoodliner, I discovered that one of the wiper fluid connectors was badly melted, it still works though. Anyway, below are the images. For now I chose not to use the adhesive on the heat reflective sheet. Hopefully, this shield will keep the hood's paint as well as the wiper fluid hoses from dangerous heat from the turbo. It doesn't look as nice as I imagined, but I think it's decent. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Original hood liner! Check out the battle scars!
Hood without the liner!
Melted wiper hose connector!
Cutting the heat shield!
Finally installed! (minus the 2 clips!)
