its not Perspex its called lexan. It does stratch easily and it is expensive to get it made up if it not an off the shelf item.

Unless you are american, which i doubt, then its not called Lexan at all. Perspex and Lexan are one and the same, its like spelling Colour and Color.
Anyway, perspex/plexi/lexan windows are quite light for what they are, and if they are on fixed 1/4s (like sprinters) then they are quite easy to do. Simply 1-2mm perspex sheets can be cut to size and siliconed in place. Normally ill add a couple of rivets around the edge to just secure it nicely.
Sheets of perspex are around $15 and can do about 8 windows. Or 4 pairs.

lexan is supposedly bulletproof hence its used in racing. Perspex being bulletproof is news to me.. we used that stuff in design & tech at school to make absoloute crap. Theyre both types of plastic but I always thought lexan was a denser/special grade?. Theyre the same?
