Ever heard of Optic Armor Performance Windows?
They are in Linn Creek MO....saw their ad in the last Grassroots Motorsports Magazine.
They say the Polycarbonate windshields are 50% lighter than glass but 250 times stronger.
They also make custom windshields!!!
I am contacting them to see if they will make them for the GTP and what the cost would be if they can.

Brilliant, keep us in the loop!
Here is the loop
#1 we send them a windshield sample, or a real car showing up. Anyone near Linn Creek, MO?
#2 they give us a accurate quote.
#3 the approx cost is someone pays the tooling chart of about $3500...or
#4 we get at least ten people to buy one and we all get one for $350 each and no tooling charge.
NOTE: I asked about the round vs square corner. He suggested they make them square, as if anyone wants a round corner one, they can be cut.
I AM into buying one, can I get 9 more????
Anyone have a spare windshield we can get to them??????

I have a couple spare round ones, along with the only square style I found during my digging.

I should add, the few places I contacted when I first got things moving over here was looking like $1500 each, with a min buy in of 50 pieces. These would be typical laminated glass with a DOT cert attached.
So, this sounds like an excellent option.

Is the square and round windshields the same, other than the corners???

They are close enough for me to think so. I can take a couple pictures if you are interested.

Also...can you measure the thickness????

Yes, I have them stored that way at the moment. Have the square one sandwiched between the two round ones. I'll take a picture, and measure the thickness as closely as I can.

I get around 210 thousandths on my roundies.

About 7/32"I get around 210 thousandths on my roundies.
I was told we could get 3/16 or 1/4 inch...but most use the 3/16"

Johnny, did the guy in Cowpens, SC that has a Consulier ever get ahold of you? He called me the other day to see if I had your number ( I had put him in contact with you once before I think, but he lost the number). I gave him the number off your website. He was needing a windshield for his, I'm kinda guessing that's partly why this thread is now here lol but wanted to make sure. I'm pretty positive he would pay 350 for one no problem.
Yes I talked to him AND THAT WHY I REVISITED HAVING THEM MADE.
No interest I guess.

Ive got the square corners so would need that and would be interested in 1. Hell I'll take 2 if it helps.
So 3 or 4.......anyone else???

I'd probably chip in on 1. I've got a spare, but gotta build the second car still.
According to George Lawson, they started cutting the square windshields to make the round ones.
