Rick 
You could commission the plastic supply company to make them entirely - but also, there were alot of guys working at the plastic supply place that would have been willing to do the cutting and finishing on those covers, if I had asked them the right way and confidentially. Lotsa folks are looking for side-money, especially at this time of year. It might cost a hundred dollars or so, just the labor, but they may be able to get the plastic at their discount, and do the work there on their own time. I don't know about MDR, or the rest of SoCal, but things are easy like that in Nashville.
Then again, what is there to lose,? buy yourself a 50-dollar belt sander and a cheap drill, maybe a jig-saw, and finish them yourself. Work is good for the spirit.
If you bark a knuckle, the boat will appreciate your efforts more. My X is happy when I bleed, either financially or corporally. So is my boat.

I pass on doing the work myself
My Mac passes on that too 
A sander, a cheap drill and a jigsaw would ALL revolt against me in no time

Rick,
You may wish to contact S & W Plastics, in "Good Ole San Berdoo" at:
(909) 824 -9643.
If you bring in paper templates of the pieces, I think they can do the work.
I used to know how to cut and flame finish acrylic, but its pretty tricky, and I've lost the skill. Besides, I don't think I have the proper equipment anymore.
