The front panel runs $90 in single quantities from

able to do one for that! $90 would pay for 2 hrs
labor (if you're lucky) and I think it would take
far longer to do each one.
That's a heckuva good price for a one-off. Experience is also a
factor--these guys appear to do nothing but panels, so you're more likely
to get it right.
