has anyone made their own back pad? My after market seats might not work with stock pad.

IIRC it has been done before. Maybe do a search for "backpad". I have thought about it and decided that if I was going to do it I would take a class at our local vocational school and do it as my class project.

I remember seeing a carpeted firewall that somebody did that didn't look half bad.

Look in the recent SDS install thread for an example of a carpeted firewall. That's the way I'd go.

I keep hearing about carpetted firewalls but have yet to see any detailed pictures...

I took one out of a car I sold recnetly. It is made of wood and is carpeted with the Perlon material. The PO made it to house a couple sets of speakers for the stereo.
I will take a pic in the next day or two.

i think 914RS, Joe did one.... cant find any pics... mabey he will chime in

Here is one of Joe's pics. There are many more in his blog

I believe that you can unscrew the center part of the backpad once you have it out....

You might be able to redo just the center and be good to go...
