This car will not be driven on the street, it will be used on the race track.
During roll cage install my windshield was damaged, so any suggestions from the 914world community would be helplful. Should I replace with oem type glass or polycarbonate. If you have installed a polycarbonate windshied in your car what has been your experience? Would you do it again? How about UV and scratches? What manufacturer or company did you purchase your windshield from? |

QUOTE(sean_v8_914 @ Sep 28 2012, 12:11 PM)  how much$? They have not billed me yet, but my windshield should ship by nex Friday. Estimate of mine, polycarbonate with supercoat both sides and shipping around $510. Why did I go with polycarbonate? just a list, no particular order 1. SAFETY...since the car is track only. 2. Next, I was talking with one of the local track guys and his windshield just got CRACKED. Not only does he have to replace the windshield, but also the required banner for the series goes across the top of the windshield. 3. I could not find a windshield locally, Safelite could not even get a windshield. 4. Closest used one was California or Colorado, with a crate shipping was at least $200 plus the cost of the windshield. 5. If I order a new oem type glass windshield shipping minimum was quoted as $195, and my estimate was about $240 for shipping and $350 for oem type glass windshield. 6. Feedback from other forum members. |
