Case Modding - UChannel Molding

Going to be purchasing the NZXT Phantom 410(white) for my new build. Only problem I have with it, is that I find the window too small. That's why I decided to cut out the grill that holds the 120/140mm fan and replace it with a clear acrylic window. For that I need some WHITE U-Channel Molding to fit on the perimeter of the newly-cut window. I know some sites like mnpctech.com sell black U-Channel Molding, however I can't seem to find any white molding! If anyone knows where I could find some, it would be absolutely fantastic!

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

I'm from New Zealand, and something like that would be good, except scaled down about 3 times. The thickness of the metal in PC cases is usually around 1mm, and in the links its about 3mm so it wouldn't grab onto the case like U-channel molding should. Its also unclear about how flexible the plastic is (I'm guess it wouldn't be very flexible) which would be necessary for attaching around the corners of the newly made window, but thanks anyway!
