Looks fantastic I really like this! I might try to do the same with plexiglass as I can't afford the Lexan

If you want it to be invisible, simply spray paint it black.
Or the OP can just use what is being shown, without resorting to using house siding that flaps in the wind as it is already cut and mounted? I don't know, I always thought clear is a bit more invisible than an opaque coating
