Technical highlights for SpeedGlass Racing Windshields and Windows

* SpeedGlass is 50% - 75% lighter than glass (depending on thickness), 1/2 the weight per equal thickness
* SpeedGlass is extremely shatterproof
* SpeedGlass has excellent optical clarity
* SpeedGlass windshields and windows are coated on both sides with a very scratch resistant coating
* SpeedGlass windshields and windows are formed to factory curvature of steel bodies
* SpeedGlass windows are approximately 1" oversized in all directions, bigger than factory glass windows
too bad outfitting your car would cost nearly $2000.
