I have a Apevia X-Dreamer II , which is currently the best case I have at the moment. There is one problem with it though; it is missing several (aesthetic) parts. while I know I should just buy a new case but my family can't afford it at the moment and probably won't for a while. I'm fairly certain that finding and getting these parts would be fairly cheaper. Unfortunately I contacted Apevia and they have no more parts in stock. Is there a place that I could find the parts I need?
They are:
Front USB 2.0 and Audio ports
Front clear section
Front lights
So basically the entire front panel

The front panel USB and Audio should be fairly generic - but finding the same layout might be tough.

As an example of a component, something like this will get you your 2.0 and Audio:
https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Front-Panel-Audio-Earphone/dp/B00B2ZAPHA
Again though, not the right layout.


As another example, you could pick up a 5.25" bay with USB and Audio, like this:

Ultimately though, to get a full functional case..... it's probably going to be a lot cheaper to pick up a new, budget case.

$20-$30 can get you a reasonable case
