I think roven is easier to work with and there is no mat stronger than bi-axial. With a little cutting and finessing the roven takes corners better than the mess in my not so humble regarding fg opinion. See here - http://forum.teamfc3s.org./showthread.php?t=51432

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Thanks Adam.
Follow destructions - they are there for a reason. Mix correctly or it'll kick to fast. If you put it on too thick you can use a cheese grater to knock down some of the high spots before it completely kicks off

Id read that. If there was enough interest and people had the same speakers I'd pull a mold from my panels but there isn't so I continue to turn what should be plugs into the final piece. Oh well.

First, let me say I applaud your effort and appreciate the learning experience you went through.
That said, I don't like the final result.
From an aesthetic standpoint- and this was certainly nothing but an exercise in aesthetics since there are a lot simpler ways of just mounting gauges- you've removed the area of the dash with the most visual interest and replaced it with a flat, featureless blank.
The dash, which is pretty large to begin with, used to be interrupted by all the vents and controls in the center panel but now it's visually larger and more bulbous, generally devoid of detail to distract the eye and conceal the visual mass of the dash.
The sharp edges of the vents and controls also contrasted with the rounded edges of the dash in general...now it looks kinda fat and soft.
Just an opinion.
Carry on.

Thanks Shaolin!
clokker, thanks for your input though I personally don't see the beauty in the stock radio and heating controls. In the next week or so I'll be adding a Greddy Boost Controller and NGK A/Fx air fuel ration monitor to the center plate. Also there might be a, aftermarket CD player or Palm pilot being mounted in the lower section of the panel. I think the added components will bring back some action to the center panel and make it a bit less boring.
