Actually they are $360.00 for the pre cut. They do not have the black out border like Optic Armor so you will have to paint your own.

Actually 350 for the pre cut. No border but still a hell of a lot cheaper than 500.

Without proper surface prep paint will not stick to the surface of a scratch resistant polycarbonate window. The Optic Armor window borders have a specialized baked-in ink based material that is applied which makes it able to be installed using regular window installers urethane. A standard window that is just painted will not adhere well enough to allow the use of urethane and must be attached by screws to be safely installed. There is a reason why the Optic Armor drop-in/blackout windows cost what they do and are by far the most popular.

MWC is a proud stocking dealer of Optic Armor windows and installs them in our facility as well. We have great prices and affordable shipping! http://midwestchassis.com/t/optic-armor

The optic armor window is badass.

Owner had a local guy glue it in, make sure to brace the center of it.
