yeha these guys sound reputible

quote from website:

By exchanging your window from glass to acrylic, you can make your car alot more lighter in weight. This is another great way to make your car a safe and lightest way as possible for racing.

Why in God's name would you want plexiglass windows?

[specialkonrd]

harder to break into ur car that way

[blink0r]

And that's worth the money? I'd rather get an alarm.

Why in God's name would you want plexiglass windows?

well, theres two ways to improve power to weight ratio...

more power, or less weight.

so nya.-chet

a honestly horiffying reality since I will be taking my car to road atlanta more than a few times once Im done, or evennear completion of it.daunt, can you import these? or would I be better off talking directly to these people?-chet

[Daunttless]

I can and will be importing them, I'll also be importing pre tinted ones. : )

[Exar-Kun]

when can i get them? how soon? how much, yadda yadda.

hell, for serious hit me up on AIM or ICQ, since these threads are like 2 seconds behind one I was going to buy these in 2 weeks...

[Daunttless]

I won't have them in two weeks, it will probably be December/January before I'm stocking them. : (

Less sheep sex, more importing.

GET WITH IT DAUNT!

[Daunttless]

Heh, way to try and recover after not knowing about acrylic windows. =P

[NiSilS14]

would acrylic windows scratch easier? and dauntt if gonna start importing stuff over, can u import me a S15?

[Exar-Kun]

would acrylic windows scratch easier?

yes. but you can also clean the scratches much easier with plexi/acrilyc.

K_car: hence my asking if anyone can get them over here.

HAHAHAHA, alarms SUCK!!

Would FAL have these in production for the 240? They are at least in the US.

[silviamirage]

What's the weight savings over the standard glass? Also, how much more do they cost than the standard glass?

[battlestylespl]

try http://www.santeca.com they carry hpi products. also i think east bear makes them too...which they also carry a full line of their products.

most of the lexan/acrylic/generally not glass windows ive seen bolt on, or bolt in. But you cannot use the power windows, or crank windows with them. Also are these gonna warp with heat? i had lexan in my basement in the sun for like a day straight andf it warped. Also my buddies hand for lexan with heat guns (BLOWDRIERS) So could anyone hold a lighter to my window and they would be toast?thanksChris

[I H8 UR DSM]

lexan guys, get lexan

[Daunttless]

Properly treated Lexan isn't affected by much of anything, its what they make bulletproof glass with ( ie what all the windows in my shop will be made of ) they can even do this really cool flexible/brittle mesh that stops bullets from only one side, so you can shoot back but they can't shoot you, hehehehehe.

[Exar-Kun]

I'll get any composite/polycarbonate material I cang et my scrubby little hands on!

less weight=better(to an extent).

either way, Im not going to do my door windows, because the visibility might be compromised, etcc, but the rear half(hatch, 1.4 windows) will be getting done.

[I H8 UR DSM]

i want to see someone make a carbon fiber hatch with lexan windows already : )

[Exar-Kun]

Im working on that, actually I found a local fabrication place....

we'll see.-chet

[UnderPressure]

ya bulletproof lexan is like 2-3 inches thick, correct me if im wrong. ive replaced my garage window with it, and tried to make a sub box. it flexes ALOT. It has to be thick to be bullet proof. anyways. ya i would like to see it work in power window for sure im just saying not likely
