I bet...I picked up some grey tinted & toughened glass for my cab last week - it looks great as it hides the 'black' parts of the screen, but allows the image to look bright through it.

Good job gap :)

good one!! hooray for neat wiring (",)

what's particularly good is that the cab is as wide as the control panel. has a really homgenous look 8)

Hey, thanks everyone for the comments.  I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.

And yes, the glass was certainly a good choice.  This message board gets credit for steering me in that direction.  I've already had to clean off kid's fingerprints numerous times and can imagine how bad Lexan would have looked in a year.

Played Gauntlet last night for an hour with my son.  How cool is that?
