3/16 will likely be plenty thick enough. Lexan is a trade name for a brand of polycarbonate plastic. Call local plastics suppliers or sign shops as it's not that hard to come by. Be warned that it scratches quite a bit more easily than acrylic does but it is of course MUCH more impact resistant (hence the "bullet-proof glass" moniker). Good luck,
