lexan can be bought in 4 x 8 sheets at plastics stores, look in phone book, sorry I did not notice if you put up where you are from.

Lexan is not street legal, and you can NOT use wipers on it. a sheet will run 200. call apple auto glass new windshield will probably 300. installed

I use lexan in my track car, glass in my street

Scott: Just curious how do race cars that race in rain run these things or do they run something else I’m confused. Lexan? Plexiglass? What is it exactly… yet still have wipers (or single wipers as i’ve seen on some race cars).

Thanks

I dont think supersteve is will in to pay over a Gnote for a peice of plastic which is exactly contoured to the wiper path. I think hes getting some flat home depot shit. In which case wipers will wont work well.

No form of non-safety glass is legal. Lexan, plexi, whatever you think of, it’s illegal. Especially on a windshield. The point of safety glass is not to be safe for you, but to be safe for people you run down in your car. It’s supposed to shatter in a way to minimize injury to a pedestrian if they hit your windshield.
