Default Lexan / Polycarbonate SIDE WINDOWS C5 Help

Hello Vetters
I am building my Corvette C5 Race Car. I am almost done with everything except the side windows. I want to get side windows as Lexan / Polycarbonate. I could not find any one make it for C5. I only found the windsheild and the rear window which I have got them already.
I really need your help. If there is any one make it for C5 powere or non powered it does not matte, that would be great.
Many thanks
Ali

Ask in the road race section. A lot more knowledge on this type of stuff there.

I know they're available. I've seen them advertised. I just can't remember where.

Good luck with your build.

Build the support frame and just cut them from flat stock.

Did a Google-Is-Your-Friend search for C5 Corvette Lexan Race Windows and came up with several companies that say they make windows for the C5. Not sure if they're the same ones you called or not but might be worth a look. GL with your search.
