Default Where you get them?

Where did you purchase the percy's lexan?I was under the impression that the Harwood windows were also coated,but I may be wrong as I looked at quite a few sites and found more than one that was coated.I still haven't found the link.I also think I saw a kit in Summit or Jegs.Can.t remember if one or the other was coated.Any info would be appreciated.

I have my glasses coated with a "scratch resistant" coating, but I inevitably manage to scratch them at some point, and I am forever scratching my watch crystals, I cannot imagine a plastic windshield and I ever getting along.

I know that lexan for the street seems to be a little overboard for some ,but then I also have started to setup a jig to channel the body down over the subframe and the rest of the tube frame as well.I as well the person started this thread may want to lose as much weight up high as we can to lower the C/G.I worked as a aircraft A&P mechanic for quite a few years and am familiar with the problems Lexan presents as well as the advantages it provides as well.I also can scratch just about I own but some of the coatings that are avaailable now are quite capable of holding up for fairly long period of time.They also don't shatter upon impact with debris at higher speeds.I would still like to source a retailer for the Percy's windows.Any one got a link or source they are willing to share?Appreciate it.
