Hey guys I have a question I have looked everywhere and cannot find abs sheets. I have to have it to do an upcoming project. Can you guys please tell me where you order yours from? Thanks Realitycheck

What are you wanting it for? I know you're wanting ABS, but would acrylic work for the purpose of what you're doing? I can't really say based on the information above.

You might try www.selectproducts.com or www.tapplastics.com one of them should have what you're looking for or an alternative.

I have a friend that works as the Sup. in the install bay @ best buy, he sold me two sheets (12"x12") for $5.00.

Popcorn playa, I am installing a cd player in a '84 chevy c-10. They dont make a kit for it so I was going to use this to cover up the gaps left and sort-of make my own kit. Unless you have a better idea.

Sen One I went by best buy cause I heard they had it and I went and talked to the same guy twice. He said they had it but couldnt help me cause they didnt have sku to pull it up to sell. I even asked if they could tell me where they order it, he asked his super who gave me a weird look and just said everything is sent to them through best buy. They dont outsource anything.

Well I only need a little bit, but I want to go ahead and get a bigger sheet. That way I can have some for later when I need it. I really appreciate the offer though man. Thats awesome to have someone thats willing to do that for people you dont meet many people like that any more.

What is wrong with the GM multi kits? One of them will work with it, just gotta find it. http://www.installer.com/kits/ There's about 12 or so of them. Scroll to the bottom.

If you really insist on plastic sheeting:

I see what your talking about popcornplaya, I just figured this would be easier to make my own, theres a pretty big gap in between where that tape player is. Maybe im wrong I just dont think any of those would cover it. Of course i've never done an install on one of these before and im sure you have. What do you think would be better?

Whichever you think is easiest for you would be better. The multi-kits can be tricky figuring out which piece to use, etc. If you're more comfortable making your own from ABS sheeting, I'd go that way.

Cool I think it'll just be easier that way. I'll just make my own brackets out of some 1/8" flat bar and cut out the abs, slide in the cage and lock it all down.
The only problem im having is how can I attach the abs to the dashboad? I guess you'd really have to look at it to tell wouldnt you? Thanks for all your help man I really appreciate it.

I'd probably use plastic weld to adhere it to the existing dash panel. http://www.solder-it.com/solderpaste.asp It's about halfway down the page, but you can probably pick it up at your local hardware store. I'd get the black as it'll be less noticable.

i still think a dash kit would make it easier. if you need abs just PM me.

Yeah man I totally agree, I just cant find one. I've looked online, the best buy dude looked. The only ones I can find are universal kits and I just dont want to go that route. If you can find one let me know dude. Thanks, Realitycheck

take a pic of the dash if possible. i may have seen something from a different company you may use.

thats pretty beat. the abs sheets fall under misc materials and arent sold to customers, we use them during installs and cover the costs by a materials fee. I dont know what the installer was thinking, but at my BBY we'll gladly sell you a sheet for some cash. BTW, we get all our misc parts from american terminal supply

if you find a tap plastics, they have a bin where they just have scrap ABS. you can buy a scrap piece. (probably about a 1x1' square) for a few bucks.. they charge by the pound on scrap.
