Nope, but if you tell us what it's for, people tend to be able to recommend stuff, sell you their leftovers or even make one for you.

Ahh, like a sheet of plexiglass or lexan then is what you mean.  There are many places to find it.  If you have a local Home Depot, they might sell it, they SHOULD sell it.

Not gonna do much good for a CPO.

Home Depot & Menards both carry it (at least mine do).  You can also try the local hardware store, but a may be a bit more expensive.

no, i check homedepot, their plexiglasses are too thick for me..what i want is a really thin plexiglass like ID card's thickness..
here the problem, i got a tekken 5 arcade stick, it has a really thin plexiglass glue to the panel surface, but its all scraches, so i want to peel it off and replace with another plexiglass..

Is it really a "plastic sheet" meaning it's thin and flexible or is it solid?  I think if you go to a copy-shop you might have a chance if it's a thin flexible sheet such as a laminate.

Call a local sign shop and ask if they have any scrap .063 clear lexan or acrylic lying around. If they don't, .090 would probably work too.

Your local glass shop should have some 1/8 plexi cheap, make sure you take exact measurements and they will cut it for you.
