Hi Keith, have you purchased one of these repro heater delete firewall covers yet, any feedback to give on them? We have a Cali customer that mentioned these repro's are molded in a plastic resin and have a sorta plastic feeling to them, can you confirm if the copies are metal or plastic? Thanks, Mel.

I do have one.
They are fiberglass.
EXCELLENT copy.
Flat and rigid.
Quality piece!
I would use a thin rubber gasket on the back side to make them seal up nice against the firewall.
