Bryan,
Wet suit material is fine except that it may not be high temp enough material to live under the cowl long-term. The silicone is good to very high temps.

I saw an RV 8 with the James cowl using pieces cut up from a wet suit.  Looked great and worked great as well according to the owner.

Guys,
I don't remember who asked but someone wanted a suggestion for sealing his ductwork to the radiator. I happened across this material at Spruce while perusing the catalog the other day.
Silicone Airbox & Heater sealer. AS part # 05-00662.
A soft silicone mat with a fiberglas reinforcement.
Sounds like the perfect material to me.
