Received the panels from Utrechtart. The material is virtually identical to the original panel. It was very well packaged with heavy cardboard and corner reinforcements. It actually shipped from Dickblick which is a major art supplies store.

Due to the width being a bit less, the end result will be missing the upper "wings" that were there most likely to allow the assembly worker to "hang" the panel and keep it from sliding down prior to the rear seat install. These wings are not visible once the seat is installed so some small pieces of tape or even hot melt will hold it while the seat back is installed.

Great. You probably already checked this out, but Dickblick sells a 30-ply (~0.10) in the 28" x 44" size. I messaged asking if it's possible to order a custom 21.5 x 48 size in 5-10 quantities.
