The local TAP Plastics store made me a couple of smoked Lexan windows for
my P14.. I don't know if TAP is in your area, but there are probably
similar places. Try the yellow pages under "Plastics."

Here in the Silicon Valley area, the Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH) stores
also carry Lexan. I don't know if they will cut to size and shape.
