Default Pre notched? drop in optic armor winshield

I think i know the answer but below is some pictures of Lexan windshields that are notched, these are just random pictures i found on the internet.

Does anyone know if these are available pre notched by optic armor or any oter company or did these owners just notch them afterwards?

I tried to reach out to a couple of these owners with no luck.

Im guessing they notched them afterwords, id like some detail on how before i just tear one up? if they used just a standard cutting wheel?

They just look like a profesional job so i wondered if these were being sold this way, they even have the blackout around the notch


i was considering doing the MWC firewall delete but id rather just do this for now.

thanks!

No place offers that, as far as I know...I wouldn't be hard to do it yourself though.

Racing windshields are very easy to cut and very forgiving if You take Your time. You can google how to cut poly carbonate and there will probably be a few videos on Youtube. Here is a link for cutting polycarbonate from a mfg.

Hope this helps.
