It's in the industrial lighting section usually. It is also known as an light diffuser panel

I find it at ace with the lighting panels for ceilings, not by the regular fixtures. Can't say where Home Depot has it but ask an older fella, or a manager. Some people haven't a clue lol

Okay, Thank you all very much, One more thing if i buy this all i would have to do is cut it to size and zip tie or glue it together?

Zip tie over glue IMO. That's way you can undo something if you don't like it

Did'nt think off it that way thank you.

Don't zip tie it too rough, for egg crate is brittle

You could always use krylon black spray paint on the white stuff
