I agree, using laminate is very easy, and makes the final cab look pretty nice.  I just finished applying it to my build.  However, you will need a router and a flush trim bit; using a reciprocating saw will NOT work well (you'll splinter/chip the laminate), a circular saw may work, but be sure you cut down thru the laminate.

The laminate option will be more expensive than painting.  Also, if you intend to put side-art on your cab, applying laminate may be a huge waste of money, depending on how you want your cab to feel.

Let me know if you have questions about laminate, I can let you know all about it.   :cheers:

I like the laminate idea, i don't like the laminate price, lol.  It looks like a black piece big enough to do one side runs almost $50.  Ive got plenty of paint laying around so.  But its an option Ive got a router and a flush bit.  I used it to make the sizes even, and ill use it on the plexi over the CP.

Its not a Monitor, my buddy told me he had a monitor, turns out its plain Sony Trinitron TV, it was just something he had kicking around in the corner of his garage, not a big deal.
