Default Where to buy lexan

Lowes,home depot,ACE......?

I have looked on the bigger companies websites and have come up with nothing. I found a place online that sells it but its only in 12x48 sheets and they dont give a shipping costs up front.

Any help is appreciated.

Home Depot and Lowes both have it. ACE I'm not sure about; I think they prefer plexiglass. At least the one near me does.

If there are any race car shops around, they may have some too. Drag cars use it in place of the window glass alot to save the weight. If you can, get the lexan over the plexiglass, though. Plexi, though pretty sturdy, can break a lot easier than lexan.

Thanks guys. I have researched both materials and it doesnt take long to see that the lexan is the "clear" winner.
