Thanks gentlemen.  Those pictures are very helpful.  I guess that is one of those finishing details that did not make it into production early one.  I may try to simulate the TCC part even though it is not original S1 material.  Please forgive me purists.

The S1 has a double panel above the rear window.  The roof extends past it.  Behind the panel are the rear air vents.  The original headlining is not available.  I used a foam padded headlining.  This leaves enough room for air but the area looks finished.  Because mine was hacked up, I lined my interior with black vinyl upholstery (seats leather).  Originally the fire wall is just smooth bare fibreglass painted semi-gloss black.  Here are some photos of mine in that area:

Looks as though the block-out panel that Silver Beast has is made of ABS.  Should be easy to copy.  Thanks.
