actually the hood is a sandwich of 2 pieces of aluminum glued together around the frame...so i painted the mesh black and then wiggled and fiddled it between the two pieces of the hood, no glue needed...the rubber i'm sure could be found at lowes/home depot...its just like trim molding...if you cant find anything im sure you could use electrical tape and no one would know...diy ftw lol...hi Sandy

From what I hear, the authentic hoods (i.e. ASM, Mugen, J's) fit like OEM....they just cost a bundle

I like the look of the J's vents better than the OEM look, but in the end I think I'm just going to cut my stock hood.

OEM w/ vents cut. that's your best fitment. i have a vented carbon fiber hood but am going back to OEM w/ vents cut because it looks soooo much cleaner
cleaner like the one in my signature cf is getting out of date but overall cf will always have the best quality material
