Perspex windows
I was just wonderng if there worth it and what the pros and cons are.
Obviously the up side is weight saving but i aint convinced there worth the hassle and the added security risk.
Any input would be apprecited, o and the car will be a track biased car but also used as a weekend toy on the road in the summer

perspex is shit. if you do it, do it with polycarbonate with a scratch resistant coating
as for security risk - polycarbonate is so called bulletproof glass
as long as it's fixed in securely, nobody will be putting a brick through it in a hurry

I had polycarbs in my nova and fook me were they noisy !
But if your looking to save weight without cutting 10 million holes in every panel then they are ideal.
I wouldn't use them in a all out road car, I might put some in the Escort but even with the few miles it will do I know the noise will eventually get on my tits

Go for it then mate.
My nova was not quiet at all so it didn't bother me that much but when I drove to the Ring I have to admit a bit less wind noise would of been nice.
Oh and don't do drive thru's as you end up looking like a total cock as I found out
