I got the lexan windshield on, I'm pretty happy with the results. It was easy to install, and the optics are surprisingly good. I need to switch to screws with a black head so they don't stand out so much.

dave,

that looks REALLY good!! can i ask where you got the lexan winshield and how much they run? does it have the glass like clear coat so it's scratch proof?

 

[DaveH]

The lexan I got is scratch resistant, but it's not the hella expensive stuff that you can't scratch with steel wool. I had the windshield and door glass made at a local shop, I just made a pattern and had them do it. It was around $250 for all 3 pieces. Next I gotta mount the side windows.

Are you going to run any braces on the front lexan? I am sure at high speeds it will try and push in. BTW It looks damn good.

It looks damn good.

:werd:

I'm going to test it without the brace first and see if it's needed. I used 3/16" material, and there is quite a bit of curve to it once on the car, that should give it pretty good strength. I have a brace ready to go in if I have to.

Any plan on doing the rear window as well? Or maybe carbon hatch/lexan glass? It looks pretty good, those black screws should make it look almost factory.

Looks good dave. How do you like the Kirky seats? I've been tossing the idea around of switching to them.

 

[sngledsupe]

all i can say is keep the updates coming n that is gonna be a baddd bitch!

 

[MyKarIsVicious]

dave let me know how the side windows fit, if it's good please put me down for a set w/ the fronts

i'll take the rear also if you make it

any idea how much weight this should shed?

 

[sleeknsilver]

hahaha nice move curtis!

so you want to be like DAVE too eh?

let me know what you find dave for the rear but i am definitely interested in the front, sides and rear. thanks!

post some more pics if you can as well!

 

[DaveH]

Just FYI, the sides are flimsy and will require you to frame them like you see with a typical race car (a metal rod around the perimeter of the lexan). Also, the lexan won't pass DOT, so if there is a chance you will get checked on this then you may want to pass. 3rd, the stock front glass is part of the safety system. The airbag rely's on the windshield to keep it in position so that is something to consider. I'll finish getting the pattern for the hatch pieces and let you guy's know.

Looks good Dave. Now i can see why your car weights what it does.

Dave,
Have you put the lexan on the side door? Check your p.m.

wow, thats cheap
looks good.

 

[Steve Theodore]

I want to hear the new curb weight mister!

 

[2JZGTE4LIFE]

Isn't a certain thickness of Lexan also bulletproof? I thought that's what custom car protection companies use to make their windows.

How is the visibility compared to glass? Could you drive on the street with it, say, at night or in a little rain?

 

[AlxRSPTT]

car protection compaines just use layered glass with a special laminate inbwetween. usually 3 layers or so.
