[QUOTE="NCStanger, post: 617131, member: 4404"] Ok, think I'm gonna tackle this project this weekend. Last minute check on parts/supplies needed. Does this all sound ok: 1. Grab a couple new razor blades (case cutters) from where I work to cut out the holes in blanket. 2. Called local boat store and they stay open until 9 pm tonite and do sell the flex trim. Grab some of this, right? 3. Paint. I have a white 03 and want to make the letters white also, and black for the rest right? So I can just pop into Auto Zone at any point and get black and white high heat paint, correct? This will be safe for under hood heat and not create problems I assume? Which brank is good for this purpose? I was thinking of getting spray paint and doing it this way if possible. 4. May need a stapler for the sealing up of the blanket if it seperates too much when I cut it out. 5. Last thing, do the flaps under the openings just pop off and back on if you want to put them back, or do you have to physically bend them out of the way and break them off if you want them totally off? I heard somebody say to bend them back up under the hood blanket. Is this best? Once done, if done correctly, I should expect better cooling of my engine compartent/engine as well as less soiling of the blanket itself since water should then drain right through to the ground, correct? I know there are threads on this and have read them, but so many use different supplies, just want to make sure my plan seems like it will do the job with relative ease. Thanks people and have a great weekend. Adam [/QUOTE]
