That appears to be acrylic (Plexiglas). I doubt many teams will sacrifice performance for looks.

I haven't seen the smoked lexan either. The way that I do team numbering on clear lexan is to get vinyl letters printed in reverse and adhere them to the back of the panels then paint over the vinyl. It gives a very clean look and the best part is that scratches on the surface of the polycarb won't mess up the lettering/logoing.
