FINAL UPDATE FINALLY!
Well, here is the final update:
Got a decent day outside, so i decided to buy the glue and put in the pad. Friend of mine helped. We ended up using some stuff called "pb blaster", i've never heard of it, to get off all the old glue and excess pad, stuff worked pretty well. the fact that we had only 1 - 1" scraper to get it off with didnt expedite things too well. It was a good thing I decided to do this today, there was a spot on the hood where (i think) heat or somthing from the air filter housing touched the hood and started to heat it up. the paint was gone and the metal was exposed. Anyway, we took about 1/2" off each side of the pad, hosed it down with 3M Hi-Strength 90, hosed down the hood and presto smack em together..done!
I'll post a picture as soon as my camera battery is charged.
