Try a local auto glass shop. That is where I found mine and it was MUCH cheaper. May have to call around to several. I paid $287 installed. Weight savings was: glass windshield (30.5 lbs), 3/16" Lexan (14.0 lbs), riveted & glued.
I do not recommend making the change. My car is dedicated to racing and I am going back to glass. Lexan is light, but scratches far too easily after a few events and will have to be replaced again. One time driving into the sun with scratched Lexan and you will know why. The only solution I know of is tear-offs like NASCAR uses, but they drive the cost up.

Melrose T tops has the front. Buy the tear off material. It was cheep for a roll, a pain to apply but after it scratches pull it off and reapply. The stuff I used was also from melrose, it was not formed for the windshield so I used two strips each covered a side of the windshield. It covers all but the last few inches on the outside bottom because it is too curved.

Third vote for Melrose...got my front there also. $375 shipped. It needed minor modification to fit well. Install took about 2 hours, not including removal of the old glass.
It's installed and ready to go. I suggest painting the borders before installing it, makes it look much better. Just mask it well, I had a little paint bleed through the paper. Luckily it's up where the mirror will block it so no worries.
