I've had experience with the percy's stuff... good overall, not exactly sure about the fbody application...


but in regards to mustang stuff, it was a LOT lighter. Kinda like going from the stock tin hood to a fiber one, is how I would describe the weight difference/rigidity.

edit- you might have to make some sort of frame for the back glass because of it's shape... I know getting it to seat perfectly took some patience and a bit of weather seal

also... go lexan windscreen? IDK the 9.99 rules for nhra, but if you don't need a window net I wouldn't go lexan sides yet as they are ugly as hell. Also lexan can limit what class you are trying to get in, but I'm sure you are already aiming for more...

I have one. Love it! You can't even tell it is not factory. Did you notice in Bowling Green? :jest:

It fit perfectly. I had a local auto glass company come out and install it. They just glued it in place. No screws or rivets here. You will need to purchase a new molding/weatherstrip for it.

hmmm, tony how's the visibility out of it assuming you have the tinted one?

I have the tinted one. It is very clear. When looking into the rear view mirrow the glass is slightly blurred but still ok.
