Easy enough to cut to size yourself. I'd recommend using Lexcen over perspex as it doesn't crack and go milky like perspex does.

On my racecar I used all clear lexan except front screen
Once you get all the cracks and crazes in the front you can't see shit under lights
I got mine from Dotmar... all flat stuff not formed or curved

I just went to a plastic distributor and got some sheets of polycarb cut in rectangles that are bigger than what I need. Trim them to size with a jigsaw, angle grinder etc. Leave the film on there until you're finished working with them! lol
The nicest way to mount them is to have a flange that you can bolt them to, but unless you go and buy eg. Alfa Fibreglass doors, that won't be the easiest way of getting them in. I've been recommended that you should use straps on the rear window?
The cheap stuff will go yellow after being exposed to the light for a while. The more you pay the less that happens I believe. The stuff from bunnings ain't much chop IIRC
