Default Part # for Foam Strips on Side of Radiator?

I'm trying to get the car to cool better this year and I need those adhesive foam strips that help keep air directed through the radiator. I'm not sure if you can buy them alone, or if they only come along with some other part.

Thanks!

I believe you can only get them as part of the radiator shroud. You might be able to get a used parts distributor to take some off a crunched front end.

I don't think there is a part number just for those. But you can use one side tape foam. Like for toppers and sealing up house stuff. Every hardware store in the world should have it. You can get it between 1/4 up to 2 inch wide.
