I'm not a sign maker but the job looks awesome. If the customer is happy, then that is good advertising. You could look at you cost of the 1.5 inch differently as you only used less than 1/8 of the board which would bring down the cost for the job. You could always use the rest in another job or even sell it to another woodworker.
Search the forum for past discussion on costing this type of job, I know of several in the past year. There is good information there.
