Default 5th gen DROP-IN OPTIC ARMOR WINDOWS

SHO-ME SPEED is now offering a group buy on 5th gen drop-in optic armor windows. These are the same ISO quality windows we have been selling for the 4th gen over the past 4 years. The factory is requiring 10 windows to get these windows produced and of course we will pass our savings on to those first 10 customers that commit.

We are looking for 10 front and 10 rear windows.

The fronts will be produced in a 3/16" (factory thickness) lexan and will include the blacked-out edges as well as the highly scratch resistant hard coating. $419.99

The rears will be produced in 1/8" and will also have the blacked-out edges and hard coating as well. The rears will be tinted. $409.99

These windows will be made to factory specifications on size and curvature and will drop-in place just like the factory glass.

We will keep a running tally in this thread for those that commit so everyone interested in the group buy can watch the progress.

This is the perfect mod for the folks looking to drop weight from their 5th gen!

Please PM or call us to sign up for this GP. Thanks!

Interested, guessing this is a similar product to Percys Speedglass. Need to see some weights (stock vs finished piece) before I commit. Def a cheap place to scrub pounds, though. Are these going to be urethaneable, or require rivets

We get these directly from the company that "used" to produce the Percy's speedglass. We should have the weights on these after the holiday. But just to give an example, the 4th gen windows saved 50lbs! we expect to see slightly less than this but not much.

yes, You will be able to glue these in just like the factory windows.

Talked to the MFG this morning. These are still in the R&D stage. They are hoping to have something early-mid summer.
