Years ago my friend built a lowrider for the show car circuit. It had a giant glass roof that was contoured to the factory roof shape. The only feasible way to do it was with plexiglass, and even then it was so expensive that I wondered what he actually did for a living to pay for it. I believe you can use plexiglass for sunroofs, maybe even side windows legally (though your area may differ, you'd have to look into it), but not for a windshield. Having it made from proper safety glass would probably be so cost prohibitive that it wouldn't be worth it. And like Frank Lee said, when it get's chipped you'll probably cry.
