Default Amp rack edge trim???

Can anyone recommend where I can purchase some black edge trim for 1/4" MDF? After I glued the carpet, I was planning to use black door trim to go around the inner cutout areas. But door trim does not open wide enough....

On my web page, you can see how I cut out for the amps, cap, and ignition items -- I want to clean it up a little more. If anone has any other suggestions, please let me know. :cheers:

I looked at your site and could not see what you were talking about. It looks like finished product to me maybe I was not looking at the right thing. Either way you can check out a web site called www.trimlock.com They sell alot of different products like what you mentioned. They might have something for you. Car looks pretty sweet.

I just checked out the link you sent, this is exactly what I'm looking for -- thanks!!!! :thumbs:

On the MDF cover I carpeted the face, and painted the edges you see from the side. I thought it would look a little cleaner with a black plastic or PVS edging (around the amps).

I'm cutting some plexiglass to place over the cap connections. The cover will be ~ 2"x5"and monted on black plastic spacers (just like a little table)"D

I get nervous with the exposed terminals. The way my luck goes, I'll drop a screwdriver and hit the capacitor.......

Nothing wrong with a little caution :) besides do you think it would really hurt to have a screw driver welded to your cap...lol
Glad you found the stuff you are looking for. Post a pic when you are done.
