Default RR uses for Lexan?

I have a chance to pick up a bunch of large lexan plates for less than half-off retail prices. I'm just not sure what I would use it for. Thoughts? I can make my own blackbird fabworx style wing for the teg, but I'm not sure what else to do.

Depending on the sanctioning body you run in, you can replace your teggy's side windows reducing weight.
Where are you in the bay? I might wanna reduce my EG's weight some more

Livermore. I went ahead and picked up about 32sqft for $100. Figured I'd find a use for it sooner or later.

If you want to do you back glass, just place a slightly larger piece on said, well supported window and slowly warm and cool it. Don't try to heat it with heat gun or torch.
