Is this a good price for smoked lexan?

I think my problem is that I called a glass shop. I need to find a plastics company.
What do you guys look under in the phone book to find a plastics company that would do such a thing? any helpful tips?
Thanks

As far as cutting the plexi/lexon yourself, a cutter goes for about $5. just score the plastic (using a straight edgeas a guide) and snap it off.

I know this sounds tricky, but I looked under "plastics". ;)

I wanted to use the original bezel that came with my cab, but wanted the darker look, so I tinted with automotive tint. It made a HUGE difference in the appearance of the machine and was very inexpensive to do. I'm sure this could be done with clear plexi, too. I used 20% tint for mine, but even 15% (lower number is darker) would be good.

The other benefit is that it makes the picture look better.
