Anyone using Lexan Front Window on the street? What is the visibility factor? and how long do they last? Is there a company that makes them or just go to tap plastics? Thanks

Why would you want to do that? Bob B Weight savings . I appreciate the suggestions . Thanks guys. I'm at 1900lbs now just looking at other ways of losing weight. I have already cut out meat from my diet LOL. Crazy Harry. Love it. So you're at 1900 lbs with a water-cooled V6. Not bad at all. You still have steel lids and bumpers? What battery are you running? After that, the next 10, 20, 40, etc pounds are gonna get costly… But the car has to be a beast. Who needs a V8? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

Rest of the glass is ok to swap out. A friend did this to his 911 auto-x car back in the late 70’s in search of weight savings. He changed all glass except the windshield The back window as made in an oven using the original to acquire the curve.
FWIW: He had FTD in sight at the Porsche Parade in ‘81. Duncan Powers quelled that hope with his 908. Good luck! |
