has anyone replaced their glass windows/windshield with lightweight Lexan or Perspex? I'm trying to find out exactly how much this would cost, any insight would be appreciated.
really? i thought Lexan and Perspex were stronger than glass. The glass in cars, i thought, was made to shatter. I guess *if* i flip the car i'd be in some trouble trying to get out. I'll have to look into if it is DOT legal. I just wanted to lighten the car as much as i could and provide a little extra security for the electronics i'm putting in the car. I was also looking into getting Ace Security Laminates but the weight reduction isn't there.I don't know what it would cost but I know the reason car companies use glass in unibodies is because it's about 60% of your cars strength if it rolls over not that you plan to roll your car but it's something to consider
