Gorgeous airplane - panel is really sharp too.
The pilot and co-pilot sticks look different...is that the angle of the photo or is one bent?
Congratulations!

The Carbon fiber panel I built for Greg myself, but you can buy pre-made sheets in various thicknesses from several vendors with an easy search on the internet. It was labeled with a dry-ink printer and cleared to protect. If you choose to do this, I suggest using the aluminum panel for strength, and just a thin sheet of Carbon Fiber to cover it. (save some $$$, get the look) I also did a carbon fiber wrap down the sides of the cabin wall where the canopy rails attach bringing the look from the panel all the way around the cockpit. Tied it all in nicely.
The "Chrome" spinner is actually paint. Greg saw a blue Mustang at Oshkosh last year painted for the Blue Angles buy a company that used a process called "Spectrachrome" The company painted the spinner and it really looks like chrome. They are out of the LA area, at least the one he used, there may be more locations around.

I'm not sure what's more beautiful. The plane or the photography.
