Hood scoop tape

[7DCUDA383A]

I'm putting some black wire mesh behind the scoops and was wondering do these scoops have any weather stripping or some kind of protective tape so it's not metal on metal .

 

[Challenger RTA]

Yes. Someone here might know what it is and where to get it. I is a foam tape.

Originally, they had a sheet thickness moulded plastic cup, the size of the stepdown.
That won't work for you as your scoop and hood have been opened uo.
So anything you want to add will be fine.
Even just vinyl tape across the holes.
The only contact should be around the studs

These aren't vented are they .

You could use black non hardening windscreen goo around it and clean it off around the edges. Also put it anywhere you think the paint will chip when you tighten the fasteners. This will also allow you to fill up any imperfections in the external fit. Don't use silicone adhesive. You want to stop the tightening/vibrations from fretting through the paint.
Another trick I use is to use little plastic washers on the studs to give the component a little "stand off" to stop it tearing in to the paint.

Correct.

Someone cut your hood open and same with the scoops.

OEM is fake sealed scoops.

They are plastic so you could buy and trim with a razor knife to match your cutouts.

I'm thinking some thin weather stripping or something like that .

 

[7DCUDA383A]

This is what I might be doing , painted some black mesh yellow but it might be to cheesy , flat black is probably better.

On my Challenger I added a thin foam tape tape to the scoop side of the interface which collapsed when the scoop tightened down, so I could prevent "metal" to "metal" contact on the freshly painted hood - this seemed to work well;

The Challenger has an open space behind the scoop much like you have. I think I found the foam on Amazon...

 

[Steve340]

Yep black is better I think.
If you can get the standard plastic insulator try that first.

Yes, flat black is a better option IMO.

The Challenger inserts (opening) are a little smaller. I am still debating what to do with my opening - I am toying with making my own screen inserts:

The rest of the car still needs work, I am slowly making headway. I need the bulge to allow for air cleaner clearance when I added the 360;

I love the Challenger hood , I've had a couple modern day Challenger Scat Packs and just looks awesome , I'm in the process of sanding and painting the scoops , they had some blemishes , and will be painting satin black with the mesh also to match the hockey stripe , and also going to do the go-wing .

The factory black inserts are re-produced. The scoop to hood gasket is also available.

 

[EW1BH27]

My 2cents for this thread.

Who makes or where can you get the inserts?

Where can you get the gasket , I like the fact the scoops are open and air can get in .

My bad, I thought you were asking about a Challenger. Roseville has those gaskets and plates.
