Default Perspex Windows

Just wondered if anybody had done these on an S2, well am sure they have but i wanted to know how they went about doing it, is it an easy job and is it worth it in the long run in a fast road car?

cheers

Security wise there not great as you can burn a hole in perspects with a lighter and its easy to remove. You wont really notice much difference between glass and perspects. Making them fit perfectly is tricky too

id only use these on a track car tbh,because of the security....or lack of,if its garaged and used for special weekends then it would be fine

firstly it's not perspex you want as it'll discolour and will splinter if broken, so dangerous in a crash.
as above also, only do it on a track car, even the proper stuff scratches too.

cant see why security should be an issue..would take longer to get past the perspex (if fitted right) than glass...when you get perspex windows are they shaped like the glass or flat? use to cut perspex for car windows daily..not hard to do i you just want the flat..
