Look here on Garage Dori for lexan thread (DO NOT believe some of the weight reduction quoted).

Is it going to be for a road going racecar?
If not, then just buy some polycarbonate... much cheaper... I put 3mm thick in the back and side windows of my racecar.
Lexan is just polycarbonate with a special coating to reduce scratching. Be careful with polycarb and it will last ages (4 years on my racecar so far).

your nearest glass place should be able to supply you either lexan or polycarb - your choice

what kinda cost is it?
i wanna start by replacing my rear quarters on my fx

[KinLoud]

A sheet of 3mm polycarb cost about $280 trade about 3 years ago. I think lexan is 2 or 3 times this cost?
1 sheet did side and rear glass of my carina.

Warning: if you are going to be putting plastic glazing into a road going car, you *must* use Lexan MR10 and nothing else.

thats my thread, and yes i was on the piss when i quoted those numbers. hehe. the bonnet is actually half of what i said.. i think i changed it? but other than that its correct. (remember the actual panels only have the outer skin thus why so light.)
yea if u not using lexan MR10 then its not that expensive. i think it was 690$ for a 1.2x2.5m 3mm sheet of MR10 and then i had to get a little extra on top of that.
