Where did you buy the ABS Plastic. I've called Lowe's Home Improvement, Radio Shack, The Home Depot, Advance Auto, etc. and no one seems to carry it. Any help is much appreciated.

thats what i did..

i started with a piece of cardboard to get the shape, then traced it onto the case.. you can get 3 switch panels out of one case and they can easily be cut with a pair of scissors
