Default repop firewall pad 69 camaro

Does anyone know if the molded firewall pads are all the same? I have used the one from NPD with great results. The prices differ from place to place. thoughts? thinking they all come from the same supplier thanks

I bought one from Classic Ind. It was a big POS! Waste of money. Got the NPD one and it’s much better. So. No they are not the same.

yes i have put two of those in cars. not molded and a real PITA to get it to fit.
i see he has a molded one. costs a lot more but may be better. i'm not sure but i don't think those were available when i bought the others.(did one about three years ago and one last year.)

Thanks - I didn't see the listing for the better quality molded version HBC sells (they show it in stock at the time of writing), its likely the same pad as NPD lists however at a 10% premium. I will need one soon so I'll place an order.

I have found that the Repops brand has the closest appearance to the original pad material.
