[SupraMario]

glass is heavy as hell, that would be cool, but plexiglass, i dont think it is legal in the USA on the road. i may be wrong tho.

 

[TSURU]

there is a company that already has those for our cars. it's 1400 for the Driver and passenger side windows, then the left and right rear quarter panel windows, and the rear hatch window. They are made of Acrylic. The company's name is HPI. i just thought that i should let everyone know as an alternative to the custom route.

 

[NashMan]

Nash: If you're serious about dropping weight take a shell and have it acid dipped!

It sounds like you don't care about creature comforts so this would be about the only time I'd make this recommdation as it turns the car into a lightweight noisy leaking thing.
(I personally think trying to save weight in a MK3 is a waste of time buy a Mk1/2)

 

[bhgmaster]

[NashMan]

Link? more info? Not the same HPI that does R/C stuff right?

 

[daledoe]

Cool idea :icon_bigg

 

[TSURU]

honestly i'm not sure if it's the same company as the the hpi that makes stuff for RCs. i the place where i saw this product at was on LSAUTO.com, they are located in So Cal. They no longer have the link on their website, but i'm pretty sure if you call them, they'll let you know what's up.

 

[NashMan]

well i still have not got my spare windows so i cna get quote


this si really pissing me off oh well what can you do

 

[Clip]

i didn't think plexi/lexan was dot approved but im not sure. anyone know?

 

[bobiseverywhere]

i dont know it if is either but you can get some polycarbonate that is extremly strong. I think the issue might be installing the right type polycarbonate in there.

Also if you do that wont you loose the use of the defogger for the rear hatch. I dont know about you but its gets humid up here and can make everything fog up

 

[NashMan]

fog be gone by rain x or some thign works wounders

i don't knwo if it is called fog be gone but work very well

"Fog Free"

Flex-A-Lite will make windows provided there is an initial buy-in of at least 10. My buddy's DSM forum had a bunch of members do this, best part is after the inial buy, they offer them for sale on the site.
