I am looking on make my first window. I was going to buy some acryllic from homedepot or lowes I was wondering what I should use to put it in there. If I could get some metal trim anywhere?

Get the lexan from Home Depot. A 12x24 piece is about $9. You can get the trim for the window from Auto Zone, Pep Boys, etc. for like $3. Use the door edge molding to trim the hole you cut out for the window. It also works well for blowholes.

Get the lexan from Home Depot.

Or Lowe's, or any other home maintenance store. I don't particularly like the trim, though. I have seen several cases done with the trim, and the part I don't like is that you can plainly see the seem where it meets, which looks tacky to me, IMO. If you use a metal-cutting blade on a jigsaw to cut the hole, then use a "mouse" sander or dremel tool to clean up the edges, you can flush the 'glas on the backside with hot glue, and you come away with a very clean, almost factory looking hole. This is in my opinion, and everyone has different tastes...so do what looks good to you!
