[QUOTE="2003snake, post: 182146, member: 4531"] I did the hood mod the first time and used some type of aluminum stuff that looked horrible when I was finished and after a couple of weeks started peeling loose..... I was extremely disapointed so I went searching for something better... Let me also say that the first time I cut the hole large enough for me to be able to close the flaps when I felt like it. I also realized that there really was no need to ever close the flaps since water still runs into the engine bay when they are closed! Therefore I decided to just cut them off and this time cut a smaller hole. My challenges where as follows: 1. Find a material that looks good - factory finish or better. 2. Find a material that is extremely adhesive or will stay in place in a different manner. I found what I needed, this stuff is awesome, not only is it bendable but it looks great and is crimped in place and will not move!!!! (don't have to worry about that adhesive) so next I ordered a new hood blanket from Ford and here's some pics.... PS. I used 3 feet of this stuff per hole and have 19 feet left in case someone is interested!! J [/QUOTE]
