This window weighs 5 pounds and in combination with your fiberglass or carbon fiber trunk will reduce your weight dramatically.
Your stock trunk, glass, windshield motor and wiper way 75 pounds.
The CF/FG trunk weighs 17 pounds and 5 pounds for this window..
Our glass comes clear or smoked and backed with 3m tape ready to mount on your trunk, just make sure your surface is VERY clean and you apply as much pressure as you can without cracking your trunk.
.
Note: you cannot tint plexiglass/lexan because it gasses out in the sun which bubbles the tint within 2 months, thus the need for a naturally smoked window.
.
Our window is a perfect fit and will not jam or pop off while driving like some other units. Another point is our window has a 15% greater viewing area. The stock window has a black paint on the inner side which hides internal parts which is not needed since our window is already tinted.
Characteristics for plexiglass:
More likely to chip, less impact resistance then Polycarbonate. (still 10-24 times more resistant than glass)
Less likely to scratch.
More of a consumer (household) level and is easier to find at hardware stores.
Does NOT yellow after time.
Better clarity and can be restored to optical clarity.
Characteristics for lexan:
Impact/chip resistance is much higher with Polycarbonate. (about 30 times more resistant than glass)
More likely to scratch.
Substantially more expensive. (roughly 2 to 3 times)
Used for more industry applications
Bulletproof when thick enough.
More bendable.
More formable.
Yellows over time due to ultraviolet rays
Easier to work with (cut, less likely to break)
Poorer clarity, diffuses light, can lighten (could be positive).
