Just an FYI for you folks in the Austin area. I found a source for 109" wide aluminum on rolls cut to length here:
http://www.jfstrucks.com/

Price was $26 and some change per foot. Don't know how that compares with what others are seeing. He also carries 4x10 sheets with covering on both sides(paint?). Didn't get price on that.

ed.: He also has trim (he called it j-trim) but I don't know what exactly it is. When I get aluminum I'll let you know.

If doesn't sound that cheap, but on the other hand, I don't think it is so easy to get it that wide; so, if you need it that wide you may have to own up and cut loose with the cash.

No, it is not easy to find material that wide. I was surprised to find that we could get 5' wide sheet material from our vendors at work, and we're primarily a precision sheetmetal shop (although I am a machinist, what do I know about sheetmetal?).
