here are pics I took last night.. no real good but maybe I can take better ones later. I have a few creases. I did have to trim around the bottom of the rear glass in the drivers side... maybe if I installed it better I would not have had to. This was put in in 1999. It is a 2 person job. My wife graciously helped me!

It was an improvement over what I had from 1977 to 99, which was nothing! And it's in better shape than the original one in my 55. But the original has a texture or a grain in the cardboard. The repop is just Gray cardboard.

Here is what I mean by the texture or grain in the original cardboard. Here is a pic of an original kick panel from my 55 up against a repop kick panel:
