When I did mine for my 342, the dealer ordered a blank panel from Baja and drilled the holes themselves for the gauges and GPS in the middle. Looked perfect, but it was not cheap, though.

I think all Dave needs to know is who the company is that does the finish on the panels for Baja. He has already had panels cut out and just needs to match the other panels he has.
So, the question is:
Does Baja cut and finish the panels in house, or do they send them out to someone else???
I know of a company in Florida that does similar coatings, but I am not sure they could match the Baja pattern. It is a painted on finish of some sort made to look like carbon fiber.

Thanks! I will take some more with the cover off. The pattern in the carbon fiber really shows up in the sun. This far better than the cheap aluminum panels that were originally on the boat. Second Baja I have had to redo them on. Such a shame they don't take into consideration that these boats might get used in a salt environment. The carbon fiber was cheaper than buying factory replacements provided you can get them!

From: west palm beach FL,
My pic with the GPS is from Mikebris's 35OL. It came with my dash look. The dealer installed the GPS unit for him. He said Baja sold the dealer the blank panel--Not sure if they drilled the holes. Then a local shop painted the look and then the dealer installed it.
This was for his brand new 35OL. Dealers dont usually like to deal with items like this for non local folks.
I would take a blank from Baja and drill my own holes. I doubt BAJA would sell the blank. They cant say its dated because it still is utilized in the 35OL today.

YOU LIKE MY DASH ?
I WILL SELL YOU THE DASH AND THE BOAT WILL BE FREE

Well found out the company that makes the dash panels for Baja or who did at least and talk about EXPENSIVE!!! Around 1200.00 to have one made custom. These people are on crack! I found a company that does make the current Carbon Fiber pattern that Baja is using but am still waiting to hear back from them regarding doing the silk screening for the Baja logo and the warning labels as well as any print work. Should know something within a couple days.
