If the contour is too large to bend a piece of say 1/4" thick Lexan, you may consider laminating 2 or more thinner pieces of plexi-glass. The thinner sheets would be easier to bend and multiple layers would add strength. Also, you may consider using acrylic sheeting. Unlike lexan, you can heat acrylic up when contouring and it holds its shape. Lexan just springs back if not a 90 degree bend.
I believe that methyl hydrate is used to laminate acrylic sheeting together (double check this on-line). If you use tinted acrylic, it might hide any sins as well.
Thin walled acrylic is available at Home Depot and is typically a fraction of the cost of thicker Lexan / polycarbonate materials.
Something to consider.
