I wanted to use rubber stripping, but couldn't find any laying around the house, so I just used what I had. IT came out pretty well and I've checked the air filter after heavy downpours and the airfilter never seems to get wet. I just take it easy in the rain so as not to pull any water in. Even driving on the freeway hasn't resulted in any water coming in, so I wouldn't worry about that. I will try and take some pics for you so you can see. By the way hardware stores sell rolls of aluminum that are inexpensive that you could use, it bends real easy and easy to cut.

I de-baffled my hood and made up my own seal for the air box from a scrap piece of plywood and some thick weather-stripping…..I think there’s a write-up on how to do it if you look around. I can tell you that making your ram air hood functional really does work; my lid is actually cold to the touch after driving around.
