I'd consider rough sanded fiberglass for a frosted look, but I don't think using stained glass would be very logical. What do you think would happen if it broke off inside your case?

All the stain glass my grandparents have had (their the only people in my family that have any) warps after a couple years with heat and cold.

Read that link I gave you. Its for staining fiberglass, which suggests to keep it under 90F, which is nearly impossible in most rigs. I'm sure there are ways to tamper the fiberglass after applying the paint. But I wouldn't use glass, too fragile.

Edit: what you said above about dyed fiberglass is probably possible.
