looks asome but heard that the rear is worth way more that than the front as far as weight, epically if the rear is a rear defrost. feel free to prove me wrong would really like to know before i spend the $$$$

The rear hatch glass is 38# (no real difference with defroster or not). The "normal" Percy's for the rear, which I believe, is 3/8" thick, is ~17#, for 21# savings. Sounds about right for the front at 25# savings. I do not have either on the car...sold them a while back, but, I had a spare windshield and back hatch glass that I weighed.

I have one on my rear hatch. I didn't weight it, but I would guess more then 25. I have 2 hathes that I swithc on and off. My race one also deletes the spoiler for an extra 18#'s or whatever it is.
A local racer advised me against putting lexan up front. Said he hated it. Believe something along the lines of how sturdy it was @ speeds. Not sure what brand it was.

Rear...if I do one, I will do the pre-blacked out version...just got tired of it gathering dust. On the front, polycarb windows are not good in fires...saw a guy (not an F-car) have a nitrous backfire. The polycarb windshield caught on fire right away and was melting down on the dash and him as he was getting out. Plus, the factory front windshield is an intergral part of the vehicle structure, which I prefer, and will take more of an impact if...
Not trying to say that people who do a front are doing anything "wrong", as we all have different viewpoints on things. Take care. Dave
