Smoked Plexi
Joystick Jerk:
Much safer and easier to work with? It's glass... just don't fumble it and it drops into place. I'd rather pay another $15 on top of the $20 to get something that will last infinitely longer than the plexi.

thats a good point actually.. im not a huuuge fan of the lexan i used... it seems so easy to scratch
they hae great tempered glass nowadays... if you're worried about someone breaking it and hurting themselves (I have a 5 year old son wh plays a ton :) )
good luck

Thanks for the info guys. I brought the bronze plexi back. The guys says he doesn't have gray and he doesn't want to order a $200 sheet to sell me a $30 piece of it because he has no other use for it. He says "How about a nice piece of smoked, tempered 1/4" glass" and shows me a sample, nice stuff. So hes gonna call me on Mon with a price. I think I'd be just as happy with this as long as no one will put their hand thru it going for the 350 yard drive in Golden Tee.
What's good price for a 25" x 26.5" piece of this stuff?
Also, how does one go about mounting it on the cabinet - upright MK type?

Well I personally would like to be able to trim it to my exact specifications and save a ton on weight. I don't have the tools needed to cut glass and I would be afraid to have real glass as my bezel. Plexi just seems like the best bet in my opinion. Plexi will last like 5 years before it starts to yellow at all, and $15 every 5 years to replace a bezel seems like a damn good deal to me :dunno

Get the tempered glass - that stuff will take a beating and still look great for years to come...
