Updated -I am thinking of removing the standard backpad. Anyway, I have a couple of questions. What should I cover the firewall with, perlon or carpet? Pros and cons of either? I would imagine that the sound insulator would need to come out and then glue the perlon/carpet to the bare metal? Is there anything I can do to reduce the additional noise? where can I relocate the backpad light? Any help and or suggestions appreciated, got any pics of yours post them please! TIA
Completed changing the backpad to perlon, wanted to share a couple pics. |

It’s what I plan to do on all of mine. I’m just waiting for 914rubber to make a kit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) A kit would be awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Kit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Measure. Go to local upholstery store. Pick a color. Ask for spray glue. Pay for it. Go home and install. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Have always thought it would be cool to do "dome lighting" on the targa bar pad—ideally something you wouldn't notice or that wouldn't be out of place while being "aimed" forward a bit. I think you would notice it in the rear view mirror. I like the idea of some led lights mounted under the dash, out of sight.
