here in pennsylvania they are illegal. i have the back half kit and its sweet. defrost lines look like *** anyway. very good weight savings. can post pics if you want. like schu said, they are glued, no rattling..

 

me too.

 

definatly some good reading, i never thought of the other benifits to lexan in a racing environment other then being lightweight

 

FYI
i called a compnay here in town called atlantic racing
the price for a flex a lite window kit (6 windows) is about 950.00
that is for a 1990- 1993 integra

 

I purchased mine though NOPI, although Chris is using it on his race car.

 

nopi wanted 945 plus you have to buy the harness kit

 

What kind of windows do they use over there in japan that we can't have because its illegal here in the U.S?

 

Mantaray Motorsport Racing, found at http://www.mmrusa.com , has the FAL windows for many applications starting at $600.

Nopi = overpriced out the yinyang, and i've NEVER had good experiences with their customer service. Granted, several others may have, but I personally have not and I personally choose not to do business with them anymore. I've found pretty much everything they sell much cheaper elsewhere anyway.

 

the prices i was talking about was for all 6 windows they want 1195.00 the other kit for 600 is the rear quater panels and rear deck window

 

and all 6 windows are completely flat, not contoured with the car at all, and are definitely for full racing applications only.

as far as a public road use car, i'd only want the rear sections.

 

I don't see how an unbreakable rear window is any different than say a van with no rear window. Just because it's there, does it have to be breakable? The onoly thing I'd worry about is scratches and yellowing from the sun and perhaps warping.
I mean what are the odds you should have to be rescued via your rear window? Can you say slim to nil?

 

I have a friend with Lexan windows in a CRX and the rear hatch window bends a lot and is actually caved in some.

It looks really cheesy.

Can't deny the weight tho.

 

true, and this is a common thing with LEXAN windows. however, the FAL windows aren't made from Lexan itself, rather a stronger, better material that has many of the weight-saving properties of Lexan, but isn't nearly as flimsy.

 

Exaclty, and thats what makes them polishible, the hardness. I see no distorsion and yellowing in mine and I am one of the original owners, nearly two years.
