Window glass replacement with lexan Options

[Rough_Rider]

So was thinking the other night that i'd like to have a matching pair of exterior mirrors. However i don't like the stock items the way they hang in a droopy fashion looks odd, IMO

So sat down, drank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) & played with the internet for a while. Dranks some more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) fell over...
Next day fell off the chair (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) & thought of this.

Remove the stock glass for the side triangle, replace with lexan. Install some of those svelte carbon mirrors. (a la www.SPAtechnique.com) Seems to me that would look cool. Mirrors would be in the right place to actually see something. Negates having to drill holes in bodywork. Removes a chunk of weight.

Anyone done this before? How does the triangle of glass come out? What thickenss is the glass?

There have been earlier discussions about the lexan windshields and I seem to remember people being freaked out about the inflection @ high speed.

go to racingshields.com

they make a few thicknesses with various coatings.

I got the 1/4" I think with the anti scratch coating. It has been 1.5 years and it is still like new, but the car is garaged 99.9% of the time and I baby the surface.

It is much lighter, maybe by more than 1/2.

The smaller windshields like the one for a 914 do not flex as much as a big one (corvette, etc) I have had the car to 120+ and have not seen any flex, but I was concentrating on the road at the time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Race cars require mechanical retainers and straps on the inside anyway. I don't think it would be very good on street car unless it was maybe a weekend car only.
