strange shaped marquee

I have a kind of unique shaped marquee on my MAME cabinet, it was a Robocop, which had a rounded top so the plexi is curved and goes out in the middle. now if i order a marquee from say mamemarquees.com, do they send you just  a vinyl piece youre supposed to put on your own plexi? or do they send you a full piece already on plexi? cause ive bougt some marquees on ebay for decoration and ive seen ones that are just sheets and some are 1 piece vinyl/plexi.

my original marquee piece is really old and peeling off the vinyl part would look like crap lots of little pieces would stay and id have to scrape em off, im better off with a new piece of plexi, i tried just using a straight piece and bending it in there but then the vinyl piece would have a air bubble cause if i ever removed it the plexi would bend right back to straight...

Having gotten some printing from MameMarquee.  

They send you the artwork printed on vinyl and you apply the artwork on the marquee plexi.

so umm what should i do?? is there a place where i can order plexi bent like that already? how would they know the exact angle though, cause my original marquee/plexi is too crappy to reuse...

You can go to a local plastics shop (a fabricator not just a supply shop, a lot are both), take your old marquee plex and have them copy it.  They'll have all the bending equipment there.

It will probably cost you a few bucks, depending on how complex it is, but they can do it.
