Firewall Padding Damage
Here's a pic of the damage my furry dead friends created on my firewall padding.
I thought about replacing it, but $275 for it is more than I want to spend when those dollars can go to other mods. Even if I wanted to, the job does not look easy.
So I'd really like to think of a way to hide it, but I've had no luck coming up with an idea that looks good. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Not sure if this would help? You can just cut out the bad area and replace it with a new section of firewall padding with heat resistant adhesive?
Good luck!

Just curious if anyone knows what the firewall looks like without the padding? I am sure it is there for sound deadening and the 5.0 kicks out a TON of heat... But have you considered just removing it for awhile?

This stuff has potential for me. It's sticky and maybe putting this over the damage in creative way could make me happy.
