Good question.. I THINK I can build up enough rubber undercoating on top of the padding to make it look right. This may be a flop but I’m gonna give it a try regardless. I’d much rather buy an original but that’s becoming difficult to find in mine my price range.

Interested in the details on the undercoating process. Do you have a link?

Keep us posted on your progress, the wins and the fails. This is good initiative. available repro firewall pads aren't great and differ significantly from factory originals.
