    Fabric over fiberglass for the glare shield, you can trim it to extend over the panel about as much as you want.

    Only the fiberglass glare shield is included in the basic fuselage kit. The fabric I used came with the interior seat cushions and upholstery kit (optional from Kitfox). The fabric is attached to the glare shield with 3M spray glue. Be careful when you spray the glue on the backside of the fabric; I had a few globs that soaked thru and made some unsightly spots on the top surface.

    Thanks for the info guys!! It's appreciate. I really like the trim that Phil (desertfox1) install arround the panel...... but Arizona is a long way to go by canoe from Quebec to get it!!!

    Is someone did modify there, to look more customize, by adding some thing to round-up the edge?

    My photo doesn't show it, but later on I put a rubber edge channel molding on the glare shield edge from Aircraft Spruce part # 05-01600. It just slips on and holds tight without any glue.

    It look like it's a good idear Jim, and by looking closly at the pictures of the LSA sold by John..... it's more appealing with a larger rounded eadge, but it take 1 inch or more of panel space in circumference, with the EFIS that are larger and larger I dont know if two 10'' display can fit with a larger trim..... so the rubber trim seem to be the logical choice.

    Rmendler,
    WOW! You've got a very full panel. Question: I see you have your GPS mounted in a Gismo. Do you ever take the GPS out of the panel?

    Here are a couple pictures of the CF instrument panel we had fabricated. It has a ways to go, but a laser cutter will make short work of it.
