EOI Perspex rear windows, moulded to suit

[Billsy]

i am considering getting a perspex rear window made up for my track scorpion in the interest of saving weight.
they are approx 1/8th of the normal weight of glass according to the maker.

would anyone else be interested? likely cost approx $300

hmmmm, are/can they be approved for road use????

Nope. I've heard of some JDM's brought into SA having perspex windows installed and were rejected at inspection. The windows must be able to break in such a way that they don't cause a significant safety hazard and can actually be broken to allow access into a vehicle cabin in the event of a serious collision.

yesss....coz a shattered windscreen ending up in my face is totally safe lol.....and all caused from a stone flicked up from the car infront of me

the older or new style scorp.

not sure if there is a difference in the rear screens, there is in the front though...

I believe GE/H rear windows are different to the boxier GJ+
I wouldn't think a rear screen would be any more than 15 maybe 18kg's so if you could get it down to 3 or 4kg's it might be worth it.

i plan on doing a wagon......be worth it on a something like that........if you were keen on a wagon that is

[Billsy]

i doubt this would be regency approved, im doing it for weight reduction as im tracking the car.
actual weights, i dont know.
i would only be doing a GK/GL style is theres interest.

all ge-gh windows are different to gj-gk windows. although its not legal to fit perspex its not uncommon where you cant find replacement glass, good luck to them shaping that curve unless they vacuum mold it to the glass

[Billsy]

moulding it is the easy part. the guy making them does custom screens for race cars and boats etc
