@RLCarter  Great Idea!!

@corn_flake take a look at some of the YouTube  videos some of the DIY home simulator guys are doing some of their backlit panels are amazing. Not exactly the same but you can get different ideas of how they did it

I'll search for for the youtube video.  However, I'm be doing this under "owner produced parts".  So, creativity will be limited by the almighty FARAIM.

While you're going to all the trouble with a CNC machine and all that... you should throw a piece of aluminum down first and get the CNC to cut it in a manner that will hold your instruments in a standard 6 pack configuration instead of the random shotgun layout the Mooney factory gave you. Figure 50% more work for 200% better panel. While you're at it, use Nulite rings for better lighting. All owner produced keeps the cost down but raises the effort.

Something like this...

Mine is leftover after replacing with a metal panel. I will get a pic of it this week when I visit the avionics shop.
