nah I saw a bloke in fast car with a rear perspex window, he had the filler in it and the glass used to crack. His looked alright I suppose if it was good quality it wouldn't scratch

perspex is too soft for a window youd have to get a harder material because it would scratch and look shite.try a hardend plastic material like they use in buses or you might even be able to skam some but for any rounded windows like the front your have to have tham specialy molded

You want Acrylic I think, It's not as flexible as perspex. Go down to your local sign makers (check your yellow pages) they will tell you what will be the best plastic to use and you could also get pre-tinted plastic in a range of different colours which will save you having to use window tinting film. Also the sign makers might cut the plastic to the size of your windows. Let us know how you get on.

Novaparts, what arch kit are you gettin? (my Magnum Motorsports arch didn`t have a filler hole in it but I blended a filler hole from an old nova rear quarter from the scrappies and bolted a modified filler neck to it, a lot of messing about but i can still use a std filler cap)
