Don't want to ruin my covers from a piece of clear that will fall apart from hot oil.

Test the acrylic @ 200-250* first, like on the stove, w/wesson.

The sbc ones they ran on a street rod, and worked fine.

I can see that being cool the first couple times you run it but when the oil starts splashing on them they won't be so nice anymore
