I have recently installed a Wetsounds 420 eq on my X-45. I would like to mount it in the left side of the dash, instead of under the steering wheel where it is now. This pic is before I installed the 420. I would like to have some sort of framework around it like a plate of carbon fiber, or metal that matches the rest of the dash. <BR> <BR>Where would I get a flat plate of carbon fiber that matches the carbon fiber look that is above the cupholders on the sides of the boat? <BR> <BR>Or where would I get a machined piece of alluminum that would match? <BR> <BR>Not looking to spend a lot, but would like it to be spruced up just a little. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/658771.jpg" alt="Text description">

I get all my CF from here <a href="http://www.dragonplate.com" target="_blank">www.dragonplate.com</a> <BR> <BR>I'm sure there is cheaper some where but when I was re doing my dash they had the smallest sizes.

Spoonman, <BR>That looks like what I am after! THANKS! <BR> <BR>The McMaster stuff looks good too, but it is much more pricey...Could there be a quality issue with the cheap stuff?

I have had good luck with it. very easy to work with no splitting or anything. The veneer(sp) seems to work the best for me. <BR> <BR>FYI the matte finish is more scratch resistant or does a better job hiding the scratches.

Dragonplate is a composite sandwich. CF/wood/CF. One side is glossy for appearance, the other without gloss for bonding. The core varies from plywood to wood fiber. <BR> <BR>Since it's just cosmetic, dragonplate should work fine.
