any help would be appreciated to source this.
3/4" plywood is crazy. I've seen many people getting away with 1/2" birch plywood. I'd go over your mounting provisions and make sure everything is properly supported.

I've also heard great things about alumilite composite panel and probably what I'll go with. There's also stuff that's called Dibond that's similar, but it's not a strong as per anecdotal chatter.

What thickness did you use for that alumalite stuff? 3/8"?

Are you using an existing APR piece from another make/model or are you actually having them make one for you?
