Thanks

Percy's website claims the full kit saves about 60lbs on a camaro.

Any one have some pics for that Windows ?

I think it probably is worth the money for a 60lb weight savings. As soon as I come up with the cash I will be ordering their kit. I don't really think anybody on here as ordered a kit.

Any idea what would come with their "set". ???? windshield, door windows and rear hatch??? $1000 is a bit much but their Lexan is very reasonable.

I'm not using that particular brand, but have been using a brand called Shields. I have mine hardcoated and tinted. The tint is inside the material. I've had mine on my daily driver for about 5 years now. I've only got the rear windshield. Absolutely no one knows that I have it. You do get what you pay for. They will make you anything you can come up with. They are highly respected by alot of big racing organizations. I am using the SCCA rear windscreen. I did have to trim it, which is real easy.

Can you please shoot a pic close up showing how you painted or taped the inside off to "black out" the area that is painted on the stock hatch glass...to hide the urethane lines?

Thanks. Dave

It's hard to see the window really good. Do you have a better picture?

I have no increased road noise. It's not any different in that aspect than the OEM glass unit.

How did you black it out like stock where the urethane goes (so you don't see it)? Thanks.
