Default C5 Polycarbonate side windows

I am looking to purchase side polycarbonate side windows for a C5 coupe I am building to run at Bonneville. Let me know if there is anyone producing these. I look forward to your reply.

Both questions were addressed @ PRI 2012:

PS: moderators ... I do not know if the link is in accordance with the forum rules, i.e. if this is a Supporting Vendor. Apologies in advance if it isn't.

We never did. Five Star bodies did the one for the C6. If you sent them your stock glass they could make a mold and do it.

Jason, love reading about your cars and technology, I make this comment only because it is not your field and offer it to you to research a little. The glass in cars must be government approved and meet criteria. This would be a failure item for a state inspection. I see you said the main use would be for track use... keep up the good work, see you at Carlisle.

One of the reasons we never went to production on this. This is an old thread from 2012.
