I was considering making one for myself. Not a big fan of the ones they sell at midamerica and everywhere else. Not to mention the price shipped is around $40. Not worth the money, but could be a fun project. transparent smoked plexiglas is fairly cheap.

I don't have mine anymore or I would measure. From memory they were a little thicker then 1/8", more like 3/16". I don't think they were 1/4". But you can make them whatever thickness you would like. The center one wasn't so thick it was flush with the rest of the panel on my year.

I thought the material scratched to easy. That didn't matter for the DIC cover but the center console cover got scratched from setting things there. Here's a pic, it shows the plate not flush for the DIC cover.
The center console plate was flush though.

Yeah, my bro's '87 had it. It's previous owner put one in. The velcro piece is actually on the edges, and the thing fits in and hopefull stays in via friction.
