I removed an old stereo in my boat that quit working years ago and replaced it with a JBL round stereo head that I installed in my dash where the speedometer was (never worked either, I just use the GPS).  So, now I have a hole in my dash that is the perfect place for a small glove box or shelf.  I don't need anything too fancy, just something that holds wallets, car keys, and phones when we are on the water.  Does not have to be watertight either.

Does anyone know a fabricator that can make a plastic or fiberglass shelf or glove box?  

Dimensions of the hole are: 

Cutout 7-1/2' x 2-3/8'

Outside bezel size 9-1/2" x 4-1/8"

Glove box or shelf depth 8" 
 
Thanks in advance for your ideas!

You can do it. Not plastic but fiberglass. Make a form from cardboard or something similar. Get a piece of cloth that you want to use cut and shape it to your form and then apply your resin then paint it whatever color you want. Check out some You Tube vids on how to make fiberglass pillar pods. I've not done it yet but am planning on making a gauge pod for my truck. It does not look that difficult.

Thanks holleybob for the tips but I really want to avoid the arts and crafts and get someone to make this for me.   They kinda lose me when the tutorial says "... now get some sandpaper".
