My car has a Fiero Store hood seal..... It must've been about a decade ago that I bought it. If I recall, the "pores" in the foam are smaller and finer than the ones in the original OEM seal, but the foam itself was softer, if that makes any difference to anyone. The new seal was sticky on the back side of it and had a paper backing that you have to peel off like a sticker.

I talked to Matt at the Fiero Store, and he said that in fact they (Fiero Store) did sell those hood gaskets, including the "D" shaped pipe gaskets that mounted under the hood that are used to help secure the sunroof (when installed) from bouncing around. Matt said that he used to sell them for Jim at FieroFiberglass. He wasn't totally clear, but maybe this guy Jim passed away?
Here's his old website: https://webcf.waybackmachin...fierofiberglass.com/

And his weather seal page: https://webcf.waybackmachin...es/WeatherSeals.html |

Thats Jimmy aka JimmyS on here. He got out of the business many years ago. Here is a general post so you can get an idea:

Yeah, I e-mailed him... he said he didn't have anymore, and left it at that. 
Thanks... looks like I can probably make my own (which I did) using a large piece of stock foam with tape backing.
I found this on Amazon, which is exactly what we need. I just don't need / want 125 feet of it.

Yes! My daughter installed one. I'd originally made one myself, but the Metro Moulded Parts one is really nice... so we replaced it with theirs...

I bought one of these seals.
It was nice to receive something that is well made, fits perfectly and comes with its own adhesive! A total solution in one package.
