Default Firewall Questions

Top of the evening everyone,

A couple of quick questions.
  1. What color should a firewall be on the interior and engine side?
  2. It looks like I have an extra hole in my FW. Can anyone confirm?

See mine, with the arrow:





Looking at Rick's, his does not have the hole:




Also, if you notice on the left side of the picture, near where the side vent is there is red paint. I've been scraping off black (POR15?) paint off of everything, but this was underneath.


Thoughts?



-- Joe

It MIGHT be of interest to know the year of the car(s).

Extra hole...

Interior should be natural.

Engine compartment?

Sprayed about 3/4's of the way down then, bare glass which is the way the blackout was done.
The J-clips for the wiring, etc. were installed before the blackout was done and should be painted too (if you're going factory correct).
