This is for your CP top? I'd use 3/4" t-molding to keep it consistent with the rest of your cabinet. Cut the slot off center so when the lexan is on top the t-molding covers the entire edge of the lexan and most of the MDF. This will leave 1/8" of MDF on the bottom not covered by the t-molding. Use a chamfering bit with your router and chamfer the bottom 1/8". You won't be able to tell at all that the piece is actually 7/8" thick.

Head over to the woodworking forum. I believe there is a thread in there where all of the good Lexan suppliers are linked to. I got a great sheet of 1/8" Lexan for almost nothing!!!
