Default del sol lexan rear window legal?

is it legal to replace the del sol rear window with lexan or plexiglass.

Federally, no, but that's only because they haven't been registered with and tested by the DOT. Would an inspector call you on it? Probably not, but check your local laws, or just keep your OEM rear window and take your car to get it inspected. Worst case scenario, they fail you, and you put the original one back on.

And let's be honest, if the feds are detaining you and your car, you have more important things to worry about than if your rear window is legal.

Also, if anything ever happens and someone in your car gets bashed over the head with a piece of Lexan, be ready for your insurance to bend you over and forget the lube

If you aren't actively tracking the car, I would say no. If you are actively tracking the car, I would say talk to the governing body to make sure it wouldn't put you in a different class.

You can lose more weight by removing the rear and passenger seats before going to the track.
