any way you could get them done in glass?

I would be interested either way in getting a couple of each if they are not super expensive

Depending on price I'd be interested in getting a few. Especially if they are designed for 3.5" screen upgrades.

i would be in for these 100% i got through Turbo expresses like crazy would be nice to have a source of new covers. now the big thing is this, if they're plastic, will they be as scratch resistant as the originals?

I'd buy two 3.5" LCD mod screens. Glass would be insane, but plastic is excellent too. Thanks for taking this on! 8)

I would be interested in some.  Beats having to pull these separately from backup monitors like I'm currently doing.(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170911/de4f5c2beb2b1b66cf5836f50a661b16.jpg)

You are pulling the glass from the backup monitors as well?

     It seems like it would be a worthwhile upgrade to me so please put me down for 1.

     I wonder if the water jets masons use would work well.

i was thinking to try to use some stain glass working tools to build some by hand  as a test but my main problem is the turbo express or pce gt lable  i was thinking sand blast the logo in and sand blast for the border and add a black cover behind it

I have also started looking into this. I got a quote for glass lenses already, but I would need to place an order of 100 minimum to keep it cost effective. I thinking about getting vinyl decals made for the lenses. I was going to try this out with a local place using acrylic first.

Count me in for at least 2, I'm sure a bud would love to have one also.

Just curious if anything is still going on with these.

I would be interested in two of them.

Didn't know if it was dropped or if the details were still getting worked out or what.....
