Doesn't FAL kit make it where hte front windows can not be rolled up or down though? I thought they were bolt in type.........maybe I was looking at a race version though

the rears are no problem as they do not move anyways lexan is just fine and easy to install back there
it's the doors I am worried about
as a show car the windows sometimes need down or up.....depending on indoor or outdoor show

Pricing on back 3 windows is around $500-600. I have not seen pricing on the front three. These are race and NON street legal windows. They should be riveted in but can be installed just like normal windows.....except for the ones on the doors, which will need to be installed like the rest of the windows.

Where I work we have lexan floor panels as well, and they scratch up rather easy, I truly believe that the balance is that plexi is weaker but less susceptable to scratching, but lexan is harder and more likely to scratch.

I'll have to ask Jonathan about the panels in our floor

but the stratches we get easily are removed
maybe they coated it or something now sure
will post results tomorrow

Ok I am absolutely positive that I will be getting this kit....here is my photochop of what it will look like.

Pimp:

Yes, Wolff is definately selling the Lexan fitments for the windows. I still stand behind my products and statements. With that said, Wolff Racing will be offering absolutely as much as possible to support any product we put out in as much as a bolt-up condition that we possibly can. In this case specifically, that will include the Lexan fitments in 1" oversized (NHRA spec) pieces for race fitments. Naturally, the 1" allows for riveting/sheetmetal screwing.

Zinc:

I can't estimate on the cost of the install. That's something that will surely vary from place to place. The only piece that needs any real body work is the rear quarters where they have to be bonded into the body. The other pieces bolt on in place of the stock pieces. Zinc, don't forget that these aren't fender flares that other companies claim to be a "wide body kit". This, in the truest sense of the term, is a full wide body kit. It replaces all of the existing pieces with the exception of the rear quarters, due to the unibody construction. Everything else comes off, and is stored/sold, and the wide versions serve duty in their place.

Confused:

The doors are in the same style shown in the renderings as is the hatch. They are otherwise in the stock exterior fashion with the exception that the moulding on the side is eliminated. The doors/hatches can be provided in a blank (undrilled) format which in turn will render the rear lock cylinder eliminated. The modification needed to fit the lock cylinder would be to drill the proper hole sizing, a measurement provided by Wolff Racing. But don't forget that the Blank versions are not to be mistaken for the Drilled versions, which come pre-drilled.

The composite doors still retain the same clef facing the front fenders that the original doors do.

I haven't forgotten about the Lightning and Mustang info you needed. It's a lot of detail, so I'll have to answer it on a lunch 1/2hour. I typically leave the longer e-mails for such times.

Zinc: The blue/black Wolff Focus rendering reminds me of Venom.
 
also take into account that lexan scratches very easily and if you were to use it on the front three windows, the rolling them up and down would at to the scratching and possibly the windshield wipers on the fron peice. for everyday use you would only probably get by with the rear 3 windows.
 
Mark that's awesome, but I think you already said something about this before, Ic an't rmember, my bad. ANother question is, these lexan windows, will they be bolted in place, or will they be able to roll up and down like the stock windows?

Oh and about using the stock windows, you said we could use them, but what was the downfall again? If I don't use it as much as normal, like if I just left it up the whole time would that be ok? Well that's about all I wanted to know, just waiting like everyone else on a price!

blue

actually Lexan is very resistant to stratches

your thinking of Plexi I do believe

we have Lexan in our floor displays at work and people walk across them day over day and so far all stratches that appeared was removed with linseed oil and some hand polishing
