Not Ranked
Jim, great suggestion, but you forgot a few items.
First, the comparable Acrylite that K-MAC-PLASTICS sells is called AR-2 which is scratch resistant on both sides, just like Lexan MR-10. These are the best 2 out there because they are coated on both sides. If you do not buy a coated one, then you will develop the tiny scratches all over the surface of the windshield. And that looks very bad. You really can not get the surface scratches out.
Second, the Acrylite AR-2 is $303.37 for a 4'x8' sheet that is 3/16ths thick, according to the link you sent.
Thirdly, unfortunately, the windshield is a little larger than 4'. It is roughly 50" by 17", give or take a little for the curves and bends. Which means you can only get 1 windshield for 1 4x8 sheet. That's a bummer...
The company that makes the MR-10 windshields for me gets the Lexan, then cuts it, and smooths the edge. Since the sheet costs over $300 uncut, that's a good price in my opinion. And as I stated before, there is little to no margin in it for me at all. I'm just having it done and set up because so many people were asking about it and I also needed one for my personal car.
Best of luck, James
