Replacement Helm (Dash) Panels

A discussion about this subject got my curiosity up, even though I don't currently need one. Here's the problem, if your boat is older than 2006, you probably won't be able to get a replacement helm (dash) panel(s) from Hurricane or only lucky to get them from another source.
"Callforbids", a member of our forum, has posted a couple of times about a after-market supplier he used a few times to get replacement panels (Thanks Steve!!!). He seemed to be very impressed with their quality and price, so I decided to call them myself and find out more about them.
The name of the company that fabricates these kind of panels is AD&D Manufacturing located in Cape Coral, FL. I spoke with Isabella Minnela, awesome lady! They have been fabricating these kind of panels for many years and have many templates stored of older Hurricane models. The panels are made of Lexan plastic and can be made is practically any color except wood-grain. Panel pricing runs from $50.00 for a small panel (like a switch panel) to $130.00 for a large panel (like the main gauge panel). They will also custom modify a panel to accommodate something different you might want to mount on the new panel and will price accordingly.
Here's their contact info if anyone is interested:

Good info, my main dash panel is cracked so this will come in handy if I can't fill the crack and wrap the panel.

I'm new to the group but this is exactly what I'm looking for my 2002 Fun Deck 228. Thank you

This has me thinking I should order dash panels for my 2015 and put them in storage for when I need them down the road incase they aren't available.

AD & D custom made me a panel, it turned out great!

So, apparently this is a recurring theme replacement dash panels and windscreens. Does anyone know who Hurricane used for these items? Or maybe create a "Sticky" where people can contribute their experience with contractors like AD & D and UDP Plastics. Any pics would be great with pricing, colors/tint, ETICs, and better yet group buys. Or would commonality between models be to big an issue?

I just left AD&D a VM to contact me about my dash panels, although I have been working on making mine out of 316 SS I am interested in seeing what they have to offer. If anyone has any pics of a dash they had them make please post. I also came across this website http://www.mydipkitstore.com/ which you might be able to add any pattern you wish to these panels...just a thought and looks kinda cool.

they even have several wood grain patterns.

Looks like a very interesting option to me for both dash and windshield.

Thanks for the info cjjjdeck. Would you happen to know if AD&D is able to bend the dash panels to fit the helm and would anyone have pictures of their work?
