Ive never seen a foam shroud... interesting. All Ive seen were plastic or metal. For the metal try to find a metal recycler. They have huge piles of the crap the will sell for very cheap.

I would think most foams would degrade cause of the heat. You ever touched the stuff under the stock one?

I would look for a weather stripping or some type of rubber which would resist the heat.
