I had purchased the firewall cover from Dennis carpenter, there was a little trimming here and there where some of the extra things go through. Most have the ABS precut but it is still intacted along with the insulation behind it. Here are a couple pics of when I put it in there. If anyone needs pics of a particular area of it let me know.

That cover looks pretty good. I may have to try one of those in mine if I destroy the original when it comes time to remove it. Good pictures.

Thanks guys. For the most part my only complaint is that it is a little on the stiff side and I need to find some other plastic plug keeper things to really suck it up to the firewall. It's stiff enough that it needs a little persuasion to sit just right, other than that it's a quality product but not original, I've gotten used to it, and it's easy to clean.

Did you use the plastic plug fasteners or the metal ones? It's hard to tell from the photos that it doesn't quite fit perfectly.

Plastic, thats why they don't hold it very well. It fits good it just isn't totaly snug up against the wall at the bottom. My A/C unit is helping it right now.
