Lexan windshield for GTS

[REDSLED]

Anyone have a source for Lexan windshields for a GTS? 1998 race car to be specific. Thanks in advance.

Check with DMS south in Charlotte. I think they are working on a source for them.704-786-1909.

I have one, but they still arent back in production yet after the company was sold last year.

Steve,
Are you willing to sell the GTS unit you have or are you waiting for production to begin again. My race car is grounded until I can find another windshield. Glass would work as well.
Thanks-JM

Not trying to be a smart-a$$ here, but one of the 2 98 World Challenge cars we run has lexan, the other glass. Clearly (no pun intended) the lexan is lighter but its "wavy" even when new. I don't like it....though its most noticeable when you first get in...after a couple of laps you hardly notice it. Anyhow I way prefer the glass, even with the weight penalty. The reason I mention it is if you're switching from glass to lexan, check out someone's car with lexan first.....you may dislike it as I do and keep the glass. If you're replacing a lexan windshield and know you like it, never mind.....

I just ran a GTS at Laguna Seca a few weeks back and didn't notice any flexing of the Lexan. Given both the glass and Lexan are equally hard to find on the West Coast at this point I figured I might as well save the 20 lbs and go with Lexan. At this point I'd take either as my car will not pass tech with the current windshield.

Not all lexans are created equal, I use speed glass and for windscreens you want a good 3/16 thick, a properly made lexan windscreen should not be wavy

I don't have any in stock but I will see if I can get a few make, usually I need to order 10 at a time. Do you have any friends that want one as well? give me a call, I can't find your number, but it has been a few years since we've talked.
