Are you deadset on having it made out of plastic? Why not metal?

For less than $1 I can make 3 single DIN gauge panels, for either 1 2 or 3 gauges. If you are deadset on having it made out of plastic/abs, it depends on what plastic suppliers you have locally. I am within a few miles of Tap Plastics, and I know that a scrap piece that small may cost $1-2 if not free. Why buy online and have to wait for it to be shipped out all while paying too much?

A few hints about working with ABS...
When cutting (presumably with a jigsaw) use a coarse tooth blade and slow speed.
Otherwise the plastic heats up and remelts behind the blade.
You can use water to cool the blade and panel if necessary.
GOOP works well as an adhesive, it does not melt the plastic but adheres well and is removable if necessary.
