Ive read some trheads on this before and since I was attempting to making this thing myself, I thought Ide share my adventure.
I made this splash for less than 40 bux. I used my buddies single stage cooker to heat the 1/4" acrylic then formed it to the rear of my Jet boat. I just may make it to the lake.
This is my second try at it. 3/8" was hard to heat up and bend so I tried 1/4" and it was cake! I cracked this on while cutting it. I was in a hurry again. I still have a chunk left to make a new one if I have to.
It wasnt so hard once I clamped the splash to the rear of the jetboat it all came along. here are some pics if it works

Looks good man!
Nothin like doin it yourself plus savin some$$$$$$$$ for beer money. I'd think any upholstery shop could give you the beaded material. I think it's called "pipeing" not sure on the spelling.
Peace Man!:cool:
