I have to ask - why would you want one anyway? They're prone to scratching, and if you're on the open road you're far more likely to encounter things that will damage it.

i use lexan alot with race cars for circle track, lexan is safer than glass, its nearly impossible to break, you can even use a metal breack to bend it like sheet metal, wont crack or break and it holds the shape, i do have a friend with a street legal dragster he drives on the street with lexan all the way around, windshield, door windows and back hatch, hes been pulled over a few times for the racing slicks, but they are street legal too, never said anything about the glass 
but..every state is different, i would find out for sure what laws your state has

It isn't quite as strong, but it is nearly unbreakable...
And it doesn't scratch THAT easy... although a lot easier than glass...

Or just buy a sheet of poly the correct size and finish the edges and corners yourself... save even more...

thanks for the input everyone, that exactly the reason i was asking...i had no idea what the product was or that it scratched easier than glass, etc...
i was thinking of using it to help reduce weight a little but i guess it really might not be worth it at the price they're asking
