optic armor has a nice selection of flat pieces you can cut your own windows.it also is heat treated and coated to prevent scratches.not cheap,and no pre-cut for fairlane.

Also, most reasonably sized cities will have some type of industrial plastics outfit. Around here we have several, Port Plastics, Industrial Plastic, etc. They're usually much less expensive and typically have pretty large size rems laying around you can buy for next to nothing.

Stuff is in pretty high demand right now because of everyone installing sneeze guards for everything.

Quarter Max quoted me $1200 before the virus scare, most likely drove up the price

Windshield needs to be molded and rear window should be too, flat plexi will look concave if you don't. The side windows are simple to cut from locally available materials. It cuts easily with wood saws.

can you use the factory type seal on the rear window?it does have a slight curve in it but i thought the seal would help it form.1/4 optic armour for the rear.
