I'd check car stereo installers . Years ago I got a textured piece that matched my interior from Al's stereo in Racine. They were bought out by someone ..

Otherwise quick search http://www.interstateplastics.com/Black-Abs-Extruded-Sheet-ABSBE.php

Are you looking for ABS in pellet form or sheet?

most hobby shops carry Polystyrene. ABS takes more impact than poly but is harder to work with or weld.

Try a online vendor?

Midland Plastic in New Berlin is where I have gotten a lot of ABS for making gauge pods.(ABS comes textured standard). It's nice there because they have a little store where you can buy drops/cutoffs for a couple of bucks. All types of plastics too..
