I've had experience with the percy's stuff... good overall, not exactly sure about the fbody application...
but in regards to mustang stuff, it was a LOT lighter. Kinda like going from the stock tin hood to a fiber one, is how I would describe the weight difference/rigidity.
edit- you might have to make some sort of frame for the back glass because of it's shape... I know getting it to seat perfectly took some patience and a bit of weather seal
also... go lexan windscreen? IDK the 9.99 rules for nhra, but if you don't need a window net I wouldn't go lexan sides yet as they are ugly as hell. Also lexan can limit what class you are trying to get in, but I'm sure you are already aiming for more...

It fit perfectly. I had a local auto glass company come out and install it. They just glued it in place. No screws or rivets here. You will need to purchase a new molding/weatherstrip for it.
