Default Where is everyone buying their hatch mirror?

I have bought some in the past but just wondering where everyone is buying theirs? I remember it being very expensive the last time I bought and was wondering if someone has a cheaper source!

Will need to buy two rather large pieces for my hacthes soon (40x48)

Thanks!

A lot of people are saying to go with polished stainless steel. Call any metal supply house.

Aways wondererd that myself. Doesn't sound all that expensive at all. Being in the show vehical realm I have learned when you can turn a poor looking area into something really cool it adds to the total look dramaticly. Maybe just looking for anouther 24 square ft. to clean all the time. LOL.

Jim let me know what you need . Cut any size and shape for you even the color . Even better if it's on a dfx file

I'm interested. Plexiglass? Do you install? (you know where the boat is!)

I have stainless on the hatch of my Eliminator that the previous owner installed, It's a PITA. the surface has to be smooth & flat or you get bumps that reflect weird & it scratches if you look at it wrong. I am going to remove it & will look for acrylic. Randy
