You would be the first contour to have a stamped impression of your filter box after slamming the hood 
Besides, I don't think it would close properly without a lot of tinkering.
No need to do this, but you can try. I'd much rather insulate the upper edges of my open box as many others do. But my filter sits far away from my engine now 
Somebody makes an aluminum box like that, but I can't remember offhand who or whether it works on the Duratec or the Zetec.
Function before fashion.
