Default Lid sealing against hood

What are people using to seal the lid against a factory ram air hood. I've seen some guys that have a foam type dealy that surrounds the mouth (if thats what you wanna call it) of the lid so when the hood is down its more or less "air tight?"

I was just at Lowe's looking for parts to make one with... I think most people throw some weatherstripping on there... but there's only a select few that i've seen that don't look like complete crap... I'm throwing around the idea of designing a nice clean one and semi-mass producing it... I still gotta study around and see what's involved in doing it though...
