Custom lexan side windows done

Posted this in another thread but figured I would here as well since when I started this idea there was next to no one that had done it at least that I could find.

Thank you and yes they are removable with about 7 screws each. But to be honest I don't drive it longer than about 25 min so I just leave them in. Mostly just to burn some of the E85 fuel to keep fresh gas in it and to just get the engine up to temp. By then I am sweating my *** off in there. Lol
