Very nice looking panel. The EIS looks like it must have been put in it's position on reason, so don't tell anyone else. When I did my panel, I did not like glass panels because they put to much info in one place so I used steam gauges. My friend just bought a Jabiru J230 with Dynon D180 and I loved it and found it easy to read. Now I regret my decision. Keep up the good work.

Happy New Year

Jake, Thanks for the suggestion. I thought about something like that, but decided against it . One reason is the MFD pops right out and gives me lots of access to the left side. I am thinking about putting in glove box on the right which would give me access to the right side. This all might change as I start finishing it up.

Mike, I've seen some of the other builders cut out the panel and have the front removable. I didn't do it on mine since my glare shield is removable and the instruments mostly lined up.

So, my suggestion is to make a new front panel to hold the MFD, EIS and radio stack, cut out the original panel and use it as a frame. It will be worth the effort. Check out the following link. This guy really put some effort into his, but I think a simple screw on version would do.
