Plexiglass is indeed much lighter and will not shatter. However, plexiglass like lexan is prone to spiderwebing, scratches easily, and will fog with time.
If your car is a show car then don't, it won't look good once the plexiglass begins to show its age. If you want the weight savings for racing then I say go for it, but you really should lighten the front end up for racing. You want to keep the weight on the rear.
