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

QUOTE(Dave_Darling @ Jan 7 2019, 11:02 AM)  About one cycle of the windshield wipers... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Yep. I've used them on a race-only car, and it's not worth it for the street: poor visibility, easily scratched, not as safe as safety glass*, and , bottom line, illegal for street use. The compromises just aren't worth the minimal weight savings (this is a street car, after all). Greg * I took one HELL of a hit to the windshield of my GTI just this last week. Not quite sure what it was, as it was dark, but something came off the roofing truck I was passing and bounced right at my face. Was about the size of a 4 pound sledge hammer and left a fist-sized divot in the safety glass. And when I mean "right at my face", I mean right at my face; it's right in the middle of my line of sight looking forward. I would not have wanted a 1/4" piece of polycarbonate in front of me last week... |
