I did.  There are actually several folks here that have.  As to where we got the dash panel.  They are all custom made.  I purchased the blank from amazon.  Made a template and then cut it out.

@slangley welcome to the forum.  Most people who converted to a digital helm have used custom panels.  To my knowledge, nobody sells upgrade panels.  Search the forum and you'll find several examples.  I used black StarBoard for mine.

I am currently working a template for my 360, switching from VV to twin Simrads.
I have a laser cutter and plan to cut it from black Acrylic. Still finalizing my vector file from the template.
I tested laser cutting on a few pieces of starboard, but melts too easy.

I did aluminum and painted it.  Then the VV903.  The SimRads are a nice option if your radar and chart plotter are compatible.  Mine was not.  

The upgrade is totally worth it!
