What do you guys think? Would love to know some reasons why this is a stupid idea and/or if anyone tried, etc..
Using any sort of "plastic" sheet whether Lexan (poly carbonate) or Lexan (acrylic) is NOT a good idea as it will become highly scratched in very short order.

I'd suggest you call a local independent glass installer and get a quote on them doing the job completely or see if they'll sell you just the glass for DIY. Since I'm already in the auto/truck glass business I'd pretty never use an on-line glass seller due poor fitment and possible breakage while in transit.
