where are you getting the lexan windows? I assume it'd come with instructions....
Unless you plan on buying a sheet of lexan and cutting it to fit, 'cuz I don't think that'd work.

There are lexan kits available for 3rd gens... they are a direct swap for glass windows... There is really no good reason so swap to lexan windows unless you're driving a full blown track car, and in that case, you'd have fiberglass doors too. Buying a sheet of plexi and cutting it wont work because of the bends in the glass that are hard to duplicate by hand for the average guy.

Pretty reasonable prices too IIRC,
I make windshields for aircraft and I could not believe the prices they were getting for a set of lexan windows.
BTW,
Acrylic = Plexiglas
Polycarbonate = Lexan,
Completely different materials. Both Lexan and Plexiglas are trade names, Plexiglas is owned by Arkema (used to be Rohm & Haas) and Lexan is a trade name of GE (General Electric).
