Honestly...

It shouldn't be THAT expensive at all to have an installer make a baffle for you. All you need to do is to come into the shop with the panel off and the door ready to be worked. Also, before you come in with the vehicle, scout the shops. Set one of them up to be ready for you to come in.

Personally, I'd befriend a specific installer. This way you can go to a certain person whether it is on work time or personal time. You can also follow the installer that you trust versus being chained to a certain store.

There are big benefits to doing this. My personal experience is a prime example of this method. I've known a certain installer for over ten years now. I've followed him from shop to shop until finally he opened up his own shop.

Well, guess what happens now? He and his co-owner give me almost free reign of the shop. I do my own installs as well as help them with some of theirs. It's a very fair symbiotic relationship for the most part. I bring the shop beer and food...and I get expertise to add onto my own experience, shop space, and free tool use.
