Adjusting Main Panel Depth

Adjusting Main Panel Depth
I have been asked to install and finish drywall in a garage. The entire garage was originally roughed in for 1/4" peg board paneling. Therefore all the electrical outlets and switches will need box extenders to make them functional with the new 1/2" drywall. The question I have is, how do I address the main Panel that is also set to the 1/4" depth. I'm not one to mess around with the panel boxes as I am not qualified (nor do I desire to play around with them). Do they make extenders for them? Or does the box need to be reset by an electrician?

Panels and boxes are allowed to be recessed no more than 1/4" in a non-combustible surface like drywall.
