Depends where you live.
Windshield yes, but other windows can be lexan.
well if thats the case, then we or you can get that heavy ass peice of glass replaced and remove alot of weight from the rear...but yeah my smartness if kicking in...ok so if you remove that from the rear then the wieght on the rear wheels will obviously be reduced and change things...yeah i dont know where this is going. but hey you stil remove the wieght. hey find out what states and cities that lexan is legal in. thanks!
Im in the process of replacing all my windows with lexan as we speak
I will try and get some exacts on weight savings for you guys...

Yea but it discolours in sunlight quickly, you would have to replace it every year. I'll just replace/remove easier pieces and then add more boost. :naughty:

I'm sure you could do some sort of UV resistant treatment. Maybe even waxing it would help.
Cannot see why that would be Lexan is 250 time stronger than glass. Properly prepared it will not yellow and is actually being used on new cars today; right now in sunroofs. Lexan is used on fighter planes(canopy must survive 600 mph impact with chicken) and is used in One inch thick bullet proof windshields of armored cars, it will Stop a .44 mag at three feet. It has its drawbacks that actually are a result of its strengths. It will scratch with your fingernail and has problems with certain chemicals, i.e. gas. But these are overcome with coatings and other engineering techniques. The advantage in removing weight up high like that is great improves handling. The rear glass in our cars weighs in at about over 60 lb, Lexan equivalent would weigh 1/2 this but would require supports.Turbo. Targa. Life. said:

i know...its just the way i do it, but if it makes you feel better, que?
Well, if it's the way you do it, then it's wrong!
I had no idea it was supposed to be "que". "kay" maybe...
between that and "waa-laa".... two least favorite things ev4r.
