Need cheap thin 1911 grips

I'm starting my son into IPSC using an airsoft 1911. The grip panels are HUGE! I need to replace them with some thin ones. Luckily, they are standard 1911 panels.

I can find lots of thin ones online, but I don't want to pay $50 for airsoft grips. Anyone know a good source? Plastic is fine! Cheaper the better.

Maybe I can hunt around for some old wooden used panels from somewhere, then thin them out. That seems like a lot of work.

If you want thin, for small hands, what about grip tape? Stair tread tape is about $3 at Home Depot.

Thanks for all the great ideas guys. I like this one the best. I wonder if the tape is strong enough, given the voids it would have to bridge.

Also, I have a saw, drill, and files. I could find some thin backer material (aluminum or carbon fiber) from the hobby shop, and make a thin pair myself. Add a little grip tape to boot.
