Lexen Windows

[Adz2332]

Hey all

has anyone gone down the lexen window path for their skyline?

who did you get them from? fitment etc?

What thickness did you get?

What was the weight saving?

Anyone have pics of the finish product? up close etc?

Thanks

Adam

Recently did this for my r32 gtst 4 door im building from ground up

Havent got them put in yet but have dummy up and good fit.

I just found a plastics place that would form them off the original windows (started just by calling wholesale plastics place in Perth where I am and they recommended 2 places from there and i rang for quote.... took in my glass windows and they just thermo them off that

i did 3mm all 4 sides and rear

4 sides and rear in glass weighed 23.8kg - lexan in 3mm equivalent windows weighed 11.8kg so coupe would prob weigh less therefore less saving. i think i read somewhere that the rear qtr on a r32 gtr only saved 500g but its also easier and cheaper than the full windows

depending on how you want to put them im etc (im just using samll brackets) one of the biggest savings comes from not using the window mech inside the door

Thanks guys!

Will check out that thread.

What was it worth if you dont mind me asking?

[bcozican]

was $880 for 4 sides and a rear, thats curved and thermo'd from originals

the plastic itself if you wanted it not curved and cut it yourself (buy it straight from plastics wholesalers) was about $400 from memory
