Yep, exactly what I am looking to do. Thanks Brian.

Lube yours up with release agent and use it for a plug, make a mold, then make them out of fiberglass.

I sent the pictures off to Scott Porter at Formula, hoping that they might do something even nicer, and then give me one for free since I did the prototyping work... :D It would look better with an arched top, but that was way beyond my capabilities.

I know what you mean about working with plexi, I did something very similar ONCE.;)

It's not too bad, once you get your hands on some SERIOUS heat guns. (Forget hair dryers or torches!! :rolleyes: ) After that, it's just patience and persistence. Measure twice (or a million times); cut (or bend) once...

This is removeable, too. You hardly notice the nyon inserts when you take the mounting screws out.

Hardly. Yours is a far more economical installation!

Thanks (I think). Why do I get the feeling that you're sucking up to me in preparation to ask me to build one for your Bullet?.....

Lord knows YOU need a GPS.

...and their called "charts", not "maps"....:p

:D :D Not to worry Chuck, I started my install last weekend for my new Garmin that I purchased in Miami. I'm taking photos as I go and will do a thread when it's completed. Note the hole in my dash where the compass used to be.;)

No more need for "maps":D :p
