I've built a faux-window for a client; basically a 9-light storm window
that will cover an electrical panel. She wants to backlight it (or
something along those lines), but she's concerned one of her kids will
smash a pane. Any recommendations about what to use that will look
"good"? I'm thinking tempered glass, but what about acrylic? It's
going to be frosted, but I don't want it to look plasticy. Thanks.

Go with acrylic. It can be found in numerous frosted styles and is much more
impact resistant than glass. It does not yellow upon exposure to sunlight.
Lexan (polycarbonate) will work, but I'm not sure on the availability for
frosted choices. Polycarbonate may yellow upon exposure to sunlight which
the frosting may this look stronger.
