Probably a good idea. Two things:

Lexan is very strong, and it bends instead of breaking. 1/8" lexan is about as strong as 1/16" aluminum. So you could not possibly need Lexan thicker than 1/4".

Also, take careful notes on that piece of plastic, so you can pre-drill and cut things, making it an easy retrofit at competition.
