About to purchase lexan rear screen and rear side windows from plastics performance in the uk. It'll work out around $280 delivered. Just wondering if anyone has had experience with this stuff or knows a better or cheaper place in Australia for example. Thanks

I know it looks pretty average after a few months of cleaning.. Gets scratchy.

Is it going in a race car? Buy a sheet of the stuff and make them

Get some of that invisable car bra stuff put on the windows, scratches won't be permanent then.

I've got a lexan margard polycarbonate rear screen in the hatch on my SD1. It was made to order by City Plastics at Brompton here in Adelaide. Not cheap as it is a very big screen (biggest hatchback in the world if you discount the Jensen Interceptor) and margard is costly but it does resist scratching better, does not discolour or craze like the perspex screen I previously had fitted.
