Before and after... I'll be giving details on my rennlist site soon. I got them from Ian at 944online. You need to cut off a patch not used on our cars (good 'ol Porsche parts updating...) and the old glus is a pain to get off...

Wow, the new ones look beautiful! But I have to ask you, how long did it take to get off the old ones, like 100%? Must have been a long time?

They were actually so old and dry, I was able to get the bulk of them off with a shop vac. I just stuck the vac against the pad and it sucked everything off except the glue. The glue was a pain. I used goo-be-gone, paint cleaner, etc. and got about 99% of it off. When I peeled the paper off the new pads, I could see that they come with a very thick, very gooey coating of adhesive. So thick it makes me wonder if I needed to go to all the effort to get the old glue off. Don't recall the price -- bought them a while ago. Should be listed on 944online.com

Sent you back an email yesterday, didnt hear back yet from you. Busy with the family?
Also, with these hood pads, do they really make THAT much of a difference of retaining heat? Or not really.

For a street car, I think the pads are worth the extra protection.
Rob, got it, just got busy at work - breaking in new contractors and sending some of them HOME!
