Default Materials Brainstorm BT: Ideas on where to buy a small sheet of red plexiglass locally?

<center><img src="http://i19.ebayimg.com/02/i/07/fd/b5/27_1.JPG"></center><p>Looking for a pretty small piece of red plexi, about 1/8" thick, needs to be 1 3/8"x7" or larger. I'm thinking a local sign shop might be able to get me a sample or 12x12" sheet, etc. Any ideas? Anyone have any laying around by chance? This will be part of one of the last custom projects to get done before Waterfest. So far it's going to be a tight next 10 days, but I think it's doable.

Default They do have some, actually plenty... But the first sign shop I called said they have some too...

So I'll try there first, only 1.2 miles away.
