Polycarbonate rear glass
I am looking to switch to a poly, or lexan if you will, rear glass hatch. All the threads I have found have been way outdated and I can't seem to find one! Does anyone have any recent experience here?

Both front and rear fit wonderfully. We're using the factory hatch hinges on our car, and Dzus the front 'corners' to the body for the hatch. The rear of the hatch is pinned between a support bar and a 'glass' deck lid that we Dzus on to the body. The windows went on our C Prepared Firebird, and look awesome!

Here are their pictures.
First picture is of a 3rd Gen too.

I'd really like to get a full set.
An article about them

Website seems to be outdated by 2 years and even their YouTube channel is gone now. Unsure what that means exactly but you might want to beware purchasing before talking to a Rep from the company.
Also. What happened to Percy's Speedglass? I can't find Percy's High Performance online anymore. What happened?

Is this one of those things where " If you have to ask how much, you can't afford it" ?

Re: Polycarbonate rear glass
Mine was 600 for 3/8 inch which is what you want for a street car. You can't use your shocks anymore, but it's so light that's no issue. It's slightly oversized for the steel trim but I want that so I'm making it work. I'll have pics in a week!

Re: Polycarbonate rear glass
Any idea on the difference in weight for the rear glass?

Re: Polycarbonate rear glass
I know this is an old thread but I didn't know Optic Armor made 3/8 inch rear windows for our cars. I've only been able to find 3/16" and 1/4".
