I got mine at 1aauto.com a couple weeks ago. I had to get some new clips at the auto parts store.

I believe that the purposes are to provide sound insulation and to protect the hood paint from engine heat.

Sound insulation maybe, however, the sun gets the paint hotter than the engine will. Do some searches, lots of opinions on the subject. Mine has been gone for 9 years, without any problems.
