They dont use plexiglass, its lexan. Plexi shatters where lexan would pop out of the rivets before it broke. Lexan is expensive, plus you'd have to rivet them into place. Is this your daily driver? If so you wont be able to roll your windows down. Overall not a good idea on a street car..

Before I can give you any advice on fiberglas doors, first I have to see pictures of the door bars on your roll cage.

Cant say much about fiber glass doors but you can get carbon fiber doors and FAL windows for your hatch.

Try Seibon for the doors and search for Lexan windows in google and you should find them.

Plus, without a roll cage, a side impact crash would expletive you up...

dont worry about lexan windows, and fiber doors, you want cheap weight reduction??

go buy a sawzall, a hole saw, and some rat poison.

use the hole saw to make holes in your floor, the more the better.

use the sawzall to make the vents on the bumper bigger

use the rat poison to /yourself.
