Wow, 140 to 250 big price difference, look nice but if I was paying that it would need to be a tricked out piece and not a copy of the original. Just saying.
I would buy 2 pieces of aluminum 1/8" thick or so and have 1 on the front and 1 on the back.
bolt them together and you can cut any hole you may want w/ a dremel.
you could always paint the aluminum or have it dipped or ??

these are hand built not stampede from a pastiche so they are a little more in price and the spread you see in price goes from a base model zx 97 year model all the way to an iclass. So if your pocket is deep enough them you can have a one of a kind panel that you can repair if needed or paint, hydro dip then list goes on. I build mine from fiberglass so they last much longer than the OEM panel.
I took some 1/4 in plexiglass. Stretched the vinyl over it. Little bit of liquid nails here and there. Looks as good as 2002.
I think I'd make one from aluminum, if I felt like needed something a little sturdier.
That's a crappy looking panel. Same as on my 2002. Every time I look at, I think I could make something prettier for next to nothing. Then I think the boat's 16 years old, If I wanted something pretty, I'd buy a new boat. Ain't gonna do that, so I just go fishing.
