Quick update: As much as I love the panels from @julianf I eventually realized that you can have professional looking panels fabricated as a PCB, using Gerber file exports from a KiCAD drawing. The idea occurred to me when I realized that standard 2 layer PCBs are ~1.6mm thick, with rigid copper on the top and bottom layers, which is pretty close to the 1.5mm aluminum panel standard. What's great about this approach is, you can have tons of PCBs manufactured for dirt cheap prices (as in 10 for $35 USD), versus paying $125-$275 to have aluminum machined and inlayed... Some food for thought for the budget conscious...
