Actually there is only a small section of foam involved under the rear fenders. This is only where the fender rests on the air intake, near the inner body. All around the rest is a rubber seal. I still have a link to JC whitney, ( http://www.jcwhitney.com/item.jhtml;$sessionid$JVOLPHAAAAIVZWBBLJTSFFGYEFNGMIV0?ITEMID=20021 ) that was suggested to me, from this list. This roll is enough to complete around the air intake and the bottom edges of the rear fender, and then some. ISP west will sell you enough to complete just the top section for a little more then this whole roll cost's. On installation it was suggested to me that the long protruding lip be sticking out towards the fender for the best seal. I have also heard it is helpful to use some type of double sided tape (like the stuff you get in window insulation kits, where is mostly just sticky stuff- not any paper) when applying the fender beading. As the beading has a tendency to move during the fender install. Por-15 is a hard rust barrier, and serious paint. It now comes in multiple colors. -John R 69 Fastback AT/FI 69 Fastback Man/ FI no motor, coming together slowly.
