Well, try it, you will see. My echo had the rubber underside of the hood, and when closed, it sits on the METAL raidator mount... let's say it was pretty nasty afterwards.

Also, my yaris has 2 small rubber strips on each side of the hood just above the headlights. With time, it did get the bumper pretty scratched.

Hmmm, that's strange. Because our Corolla and Camry here in Australia have this rubber strip on the underside of the bonnet. Though I don't think it's for sealing the hood, but it seems to just sit between the car chassis frame and the bonnet, to give a bit of cushioning?
