Thanks, I'll order it. What should I use for adhesive?

Comes with peel and stick pre-adhesive stuff. And it's high quality adhesive. I've tried to "make my own" insulation and the hardest part, is finding an adhesive that works (I still haven't found one - and I've tried several "professional body shop" style products). Next time I'll just get the OE BMW stuff that Blunt sells. It works great.

 

Tip: The "different shaped" piece does NOT go in the center. And the center pc must pass beneath the hood support rod - and can be a tricky installation process. Many people install this incorrectly. Here's a photo of it properly installed as the factory did it. You'll notice the left piece is slightly smaller / narrower, than the center and right piece.

Thank you, Paul,

 

Placing the pads symmetrically is an oft-made mistake among those who are trying to make their cars "original" in appearance and configuration.
