[blackfireball5]

You should post some pictures up here of yours using epoxy and give your experience with it when you finish.

There is a glue called pl2000, or pl3000 It will bond anything. I would suggest trying that to bond the 2 materials. You will probably need a caulking gun to dispense it(last time I used it-it only came in that form)

Thanks! I'll look for that!

There's another glue called Amazing Goop, similar to Shoe Goo. It is rubber based, and also glues anything, but has some give to it.

It can also be unglued easily with toluene or gasoline.

This is what I used to glue the wire mesh screens into the holes I cut into my front mouthpiece on my BRZ.

Did it hold up to highway speeds?

I'm thinking about pulling them out and trying to use this to adhere it. Gonna look a little more but I'm thinking this might do the trick.

So these vents air towards the wheel well liner? No pipes? Won't that change pressure under the hood, which might cause the hood itself to rattle at high speeds?

I honestly don't think there would be that big of a change. I can tell you I don't notice any rattling at highway speeds. However, I haven't been to a track with them yet.
