switch panel materials

For those of you that have made switch panels to fit under your headunit, what material did you make these out of and do you have any advice? thanks.

Plexiglass with 5% tint over it, 2 layers.

i used a piece of .09" aluminum for mine...

fiberglass and carbon fiber

Spraypainted plexiglass cut with dremel.

When spraying, don't use primer (Like me, cauze I'm a jackass) If you just paint the back, the front comes out with a perfect glossy finish. I forgot primer isn't transparent, so I had to paint the face and it got all retarded. (We did it right for my Buddy's Firebird correctly and it looks awesome)

Pictures?
I was planning to do plexi, spray it black, and then get it engraved (lighting it from the back)

I did plexiglass and put some foam core (sp?) over it...It is awesome...

ive ended up using some steel. i got it cut perfectly, im gettin one of my friends to do the graphics on it w/ paint (very talented artist) then i'll spray clear coat on it i guess ^_^ whatcha think?

Sweet post up some pictures.

Picturrrrrre

i need a picture of my switch box on here

Sweet lookin, Floyd. I just wasn't motivated to solder those extra leads for the LED's, haha.

Wired it up with one common ground, and 4x12V outs. Made wiring easy cauze I only run a power, and just ground each device wherever it is.

It will be a little while before mine is done. I'm a perfectionist and work kinda slow, but thats the way it should be i think. but i do have it cut and this girl is doin' the design right now and i should get it back this weekend... then i'll clear coat it, cut my holes and put it in. then, pics

Sweet, Can't wait to see it done

heres mine that i made for some glow i had in my room.....



its for sale if anyones interested
it now has some led indicators that light up when the switches are on in all those open holes.

heres the one i have in my car. ill have to get pics of it installed soon.

I have to rate that a "4XSWEET"

Made mine out of a file folder! =0) lemme try to dig up some pics
