Sears sells different types of weatherstripping for windows and doors. I saw it the other day. If you have a "Sears Hardware" that would be a good place to look. Home Depot would have it too. Good luck!

Yeah, check your local hardware stores for weather stripping. One side will have blue on it (self-adhesive) and the other won't. Just pile them onto each other at the correct length, and seal it up.

I used black foam weather stripping for the front, and on the back side, used some duct tape to make sure it was airtight!

I'm cheap & simple. Duct tape! Works fine, not exactly "show-car" though!

I found that the SLP CAI actually raised my IAT readings
relative to the stock SS hood. The idea that you'll build
any more pressure by sealing off the front slot, if you have
a "ram air" hood, is a joke. Leave them both open and
take the minimum inlet restriction, unless your car has
a hood that makes it draw hot engine compartment air.

its not ram air its cold air induction and the reason you seal it is because to prevent sucking in hot air from the engine.

cooler air =free horsepower.

Original poster said he had a ram air hood.

I didnt use the same set up you used. I modified the air box, i sealed up the front using the right size black hose in the opening and tightened it down. it sealed it perfectly and looks good too. I am using the ultimate ram air system that grabs the cold air from the bottom,it makes good mid to top end hp.
