700$ may sound steep but it is also curved. Also how durable is Lexas scratch wise? The inner and outer window sweeps in the doors rub quit a bit on the glass as it goes up and down and may scratch the Lexan. I just installed new outer sweeps in both doors in the new Hornet and they are tight against the glass. You might concider this point and ask the people makeing the new Lexan windows for you. Just my 2 cents.
