I took a different route then most.
I have KOS carbon fiber doors that retain ALL OEM features.
So I sent an OEM door glass to Pro Glass and had them make bolt in lexan door windows that I have mounted to manual window regulators. Then I installed window latches in the top forward corners of the window which latch to the roll cage. This allows me to still have functioning windows.

FWIW.
Factory door windows weigh 14 lbs. each and the Pro Glass windows weigh 7 lbs. each.

For some reason I don't have any pics. If the doors are still on the car, I'll stop by the body shop this week and take some.

Here are a few more not sure how much closer or more focused they are... are you looking for any part in particular?

Before the Carbon Fiber Doors were painted..

A side view from a bit away - These are Proglass windows, you can see they keep the same curve as the factory glass.

I did the install about 6 years ago. This is a window from Percys before the "Drop In" windows were made. I had to trim to fit and black out around the edges myself. The new ones are cake to install.

I'm located in Hamilton Twp. next to Trenton.
