It's the last piece of wood in the cabin and it needs to go!
I want to go with black to match the rest of the dash/cockpit. It needs to be functional and look good. Most importantly I don't want to spend a fortune on it![Smilie](/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
What have you guys done??
Thanks
Jim

I haven't done it myself, but I have seen where the louvers have been removed and replaced with some dark plexiglass. Looked pretty good.

Top hatch for cabin door is already black acrylic. Why not remake the doors in the same? Or for a really cool touch, white semi-translucent with the gauge cluster graphic added.....

The dash panel overlay is getting done to match the boat, might be too busy for the door??

You could get clear acrylic and sand it with a da on the inside. Makes it look like frosted glass. Looks good with black and goes with any color. Lets light in also.

I forget what size you need but I have dark smoked acrylic door that slides open.
I have ordered from this place before and they will also cut it to size.
