well..paid the $120 for the "good" stuff and the first time i took the Lbug out in the rain it warped and wobbled all over the place and looks like crap.😠
does anyone know if there is any "good" sheet material for the firewall ?
what do others do with this area of the engine bay?

Were all the "tags" in place?
Have seen some aftermarket chrome louvred metal ones - try Mick's

thanks Grahame.....yep, all the tags in place and used...just inferior quality tarboard, a little moisture and it delaminated and warped
maybe i should try make something out of aluminium sheet with some sound deadening sandwiched behind it
i have used the louvred s/s kit before on another car, its ok but a little "showy" for what i wanted.
