Hi to all,

My car had the J55 option, hood insulation & undercoat. The pad is missing, I know there is a lot of repro out there but would anyone have an OEM on is car
for reference (hole, no hole, moulded non moulded clips metal,plastic?????) Want to put the right one on and clips. Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks to all

I'm guessing the only cars that still have their OEM pad, are cars with extreme low miles, like under 10K and hardly ever driven.
By the early 1980s, and 30K total miles, the under hood pad on my barracuda was falling off in pieces. what a mess it made on the engine where road grime and oil vapor made the engine sticky, and this lint and stuff would stick to it. When I tore the remaining pieces off, and pressure washed the engine, I was glad to see it go.
hopefully, modern reproductions are made of better material that lasts longer.
