Aw, just get a bigger turbo and enjoy the view out of the clear, unscratched glass.

I prefer the bigger turbo and the lighter windows, but I'm just greedy....

For a street car I would have to say no, they would be a pita and you could end up replacing them every 6 months, unless you never rolled them down, then once a year. Depending on the sanctioning body, you might need a window net instead. Doors will definately need to be operable from the outside.

They wouldn't be that hard to make. Use your existing windows to make a curved mold from plaster of paris, lay the lexan over it and use a heat gun, infra red lamp to form it.

They wont be using winders at all, just 1" seat belt as per GT3 911s. Yeah I'll end up making my own like the headlight covers I made.

The car will be street legal but wont see much road use, I have Targa Newfoundland in mind and some other amatuer events.

Targa Newfoundland would be a blast. If you are covering expenses, you have your first pit crew volunteer.
