I seem to recall your Ioniq has the automated radiator grille, in which case permanent attachment is also an option (for those lazy like me)
. Though making it removable does give you more options and makes it easier to test, to boot.
Just FYI, I've restricted my air intake to ~70 sq in and leave the hood insulation on all the time. I'm a snowbird so I'm mostly in hotter weather. I've been watching my temps carefully, especially when I turn on the AC, and I have a problem with *overcooling* my engine now, because of the new way that I've routed the airflow. All this is to say, it doesn't seem like the insulation will cause overheating, assuming your radiator system is working properly. And if the latter fails, it won't matter when you have the insulation in or not.
Let us know how it works out!
