Just need to buy some .115" plate for dashboard switchgear. Who do you buy from?

Check with MJSpeed, Rennlist member, bet he can guide you or supply himself.

I suggest you consider ACP Composites in Livermore, CA (http://www.acpsales.com/home.html). I buy raw material from them for my own fabrication projects. I usually make my own flat material but I have compared their panel prices and quality to others and they are very competitive.

They have a lot of experience and are friendly folks. A family-owned business.

Similar, yes, but mine's going to have some pink furry edges. Two words: Spec Boxster.

Thx for the ACP link and to everyone for other suggestions. Need to do a front splitter for the 993 over the winter so will chase down product from suppliers you guys mentioned.

Thx for the offer Jerry. Needed about 10" x 12". MJSpeed got back to me on this.
