normal auto glass to lexan?

[changedman]

Anyone thought of doing this conversion? Lexan is nearly impossible to break into, but if you get in a huge accident, it may pose a threat. It'd be worth it I think if it looks like normal glass and doesnt break easily!

Lexan scratches REALLY easily, which is one major drawback. I would think after even a short time it would look terrible.

Lexan only for racing requirements to lose some weight and for safety purposes. Looks horrible after first cleaning. It has to be polished and what a mess for a daily driver. If you Did the peel off windshield thing like Nascar that would be cool, you could do your own pitstop at the gas station. I don't really think it would be practical though for a daily driver. I have worked with Lexan in other applications and it is not indestructable but it is very hard to work with. Cutting and trimming windows and getting them to fit like OE would be more suited to a race teams development budget than your pocket most likely.
