You realize the rwhp implications involved here as well, right?

I got mine from Mid America a few years ago. Everybody carries them and they're all the same.

I purchased mine from Mid-America, and it really does keep the engine compartment cleaner. All joking aside, I am pleased with the results, and how it also completes the look with the side seals.

Home Depot in my area had gray and white, no black.

I got black rubber "automotive/marine" weatherstripping at Lowes. 11 ft for 7.99, but makes 22 ft because you strip it down the middle.

Looks like 11 ft of U-U and you make 22 ft of U shaped pieces.

I did my hood front and my whole hatch/trunk for 7.99.

Not sure if this is your first mod or not? One of my first mods was the Performance Hood Seal. Now I'm a flow blown modaholic. Be careful Grasshopper. Be careful.....

You just have to go to Home Depot or Lowes or heck go to Ace Hardware and look at the stuff. It's easy to figure out what will work!
