This has been done to death in other threads, but I agree, use the 3M spray product specifically designed for hood pads - not the 77 crap or whatever else comes in a can. Ask at a real auto parts store if you aren't sure which one. Yes, the hood pad for the turbo model is worth the extra expense. No, you don't have to get your hood surgically clean for the new pad to stick properly, just make sure most of the old crap is off and that you follow the instructions for the glue. Good luck.
