1/8 inch thick polycarbonate will be probably still be 20+ times stronger than most of your 1/2 inch thick acrylics. (I'm not sure what the actual strength-comparison numbers are, but polycarbonate simply blows away your acrylics -- it is literally hundreds of times stronger.)
And the curve you are talking about should make even 1/8 thick material rigid enough for your application.
If you don't find exactly what you are looking for in molding an acrylic sheet, I would suggest that you look into the polycarbonate.
For polycarbonate, do a seach on the brand name "Lexan."
