I've been researching glass replacement materials. It looks like acrylic is better overall. It's tintable and fairly scratch resistant. Its not as strong as lexan but it is still a good amount stronger then glass. Plus its frigin cheap to boot.

Here's a site that explains in detail how to retrofit a carbon fiber sunroof replacement

I plan on using acrylic

Don't use acrylic. As soon as you start drilling holes along the edge it'll break. If it doesn't break when you drill, it'll break when you rivet or bolt it down. I know, I tried it.

I used 1/16" aluminum sheet for the sunroof...

http://www.jklmn.net/gallery/album11/08_07_03_013

and 1/16" Lexan for the side windows...

http://www.jklmn.net/gallery/album11/08_07_03_010

...and rear window...

http://www.jklmn.net/gallery/Rollcage/01_039

I also added some aluminum abgle to the rear window to keep it from tearing out the rivets at speed.

you need a special bit for acrylic, but it'll cost the difference between lexan and acrylic plus the few extra sheets of acrylic you'll end up f-ing up on
