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 All the threads I have found have been way outdated and I can't seem to find one!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!

 

Can you post some pictures of this hatch on your car?

 

Would love some pics!

I just ordered a 3/16 rear from opticarmor today, I'll take some pics for you when it shows up.

 

Please show some installation pics.

 

Yeah, pics!Web site is worthless w/ no pics!

 

Will do. If the rear turns out good I'll do the front as well. Anyway, depending on the shipping looks for pics next week

 

Any progress on this?

 

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Website seems to be outdated by 2 years and even their YouTube channel is gone now.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" ?

 

I didn't see any thirdgens in that link.

 

Lol, here are 3 pictures of our cars with these windows from their website.

 

I've wanted to do this for years....

 

Pretty damn nice! Im guessing you loose your defroster with this?

 

Do you get a lot of frost in Oynth?

 

Yes, this mod is really more for a purpose built type car and not a DD

 

Enough to use the defroster.

 

how much does something like that run ?

 

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!

 

We'll also want to know if it's louder in the car. Hoping no. Probably yes.

 

Pricing is on their website

 

Any idea on the difference in weight for the rear glass?

 

Anybody done an install on one of these yet?

 

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".
