Percy's speedglass

Take a look at this saves 30-100 lbs. I want this for my car. Looks like this is not lexan? In one spot says its better than lexan?

This is a different type of lexan it doesnt scratch .
But i dont understand what your saying because its stronger than glass. No deer will go thru a 1/4 inch of this.

I saw an ad for this in modified magazine. It's def something to have to reduce weight. But it doesn't look to good because of the way it's secured in there

It is only "scratch resistant" and not scratch proof. They use laminated lexan for anti ballistic ("bulletproof") glass.

On the site it says will fit in like stock.

from what it says on the site its extremlyn hard to scratch . My stock glass is extremly scratched.
Front and rear and two side pieces in rear would save alot of weight.
Im going to try the little windows in the rear doors first.

You have to put that glass on with screws. They use lexan on drag cars.

People buy a carbon fiber hood for $400-500 to save 20-30lbs The winshield costs $400-500 and will save 30-50lbs.
