Has this ever been done? Not really liking how close the panel will be to my 53 Y.O. eyeballs.
My idea is to move just the CENTER section of the panel back 2" with standoffs around the perimeter, and then fab some kind of bezel to cover up the rest of the gap.
I realize that there is not an abundance of space for avionics behind the panel, but the new gear (Skyview, etc.) tends to be quite narrow. Com could be an issue, but Becker and others make pretty short units.
Also realize that CG goes a tad bit forward, but with FP Catto out front that should not be an issue either.
Don'cha love that word Experimental?
