If you go this route, tell them not to etch "tempered" into the glass. I had a full set of glass made years ago for a custom car, and they etched "tempered" right in the middle. Needless to say they had to redo the complete job.

There should be a small tempering bug (that's what it's called in the industry) in one of the lower corners. It's usually less than an inch long and pretty discreet.
Laminated plate glass is a legal alternative. The advantage is that your local glass shop should be able to cut it and it's usually a little less expensive than tempered glass. It can also be trimmed if necessary; once glass is tempered, you're stuck with what you've got.
You can get either laminated plate or tempered in either clear or a variety of tints.
