Where to buy plastic for custom gague cluster?

Okay, the gagues are in the mail (should be here any day now) and the car will be in the driveway saturday (if not sooner)....where can i buy plastic to cover up the existing dash/gague part that i can mount these gagues? I figure i'll use something like 1/8 inch thick plastic or something...sound like a good plan? I'd like it to match the rest of the dash, (89 Formula), any ideas where to get this? Thanks,
-Chris

call a glass shop. they usually carry ABS plastic. its black. smooth on one side and textured on the other. scary how close it matches to the 3rd gen black dash parts.

Scroll down to Raw materials. Plastic is listed.

Best place to get all sorts of materials.
