best thing would be to fabricate it from fiberglass.
Im going to assume you dont know how to glass, if you have someone do it it can be pretty costly....

I actually had an awesome idea, i had my screen laying flat then a screw actuator would flip it open when i wanted it open. i got as far as making the brackets and sliding mechanism and then i bought a DD kenwood unit so i ended up putting my screen in the overhead pocket.
