After many hours of laying out our panel in software, we got a builder friend who's also building a Highlander, to cutout a temporary panel in press-board on his Shopbot CNC. A few issues were found in the cutout that will be fixed in the next pass. With some minor tweaking the panel was assembled and placed into the cockpit area to check for interference issues. None were found.

The transponder we chose for our project is the remote mounted Garmin GTX-45R. The mounting tray for the transponder needed to be mounted in the fuselage and we chose to mount it behind the baggage area. A WAAS GPS will also be needed to feed the transponder and a mount was also fashioned and attached to the transponder mounting bracket.
