Repost guys, they were cheaper over a year ago but the company changed names and increased the price :(

Have also been thinking about these for my 4th. Defo going to do the rear quarters and the rear screen. :shock: :D
but not sure on the front doors yet as i quite like the idea of being able to open my window. Did ask mot tester about them for mot and he said he didn't see a problem with them. ;)

Isn't Lexan a trade name for standard polycarbonate? If so, doesn't it yellow with age when subject to UV?
This would mean that it's OK for racing applications or when you're likely to replace the item after a couple of years or so (eg: helmet visor), but won't necessarily be suitable for general in-car use.
There is a version that's supposed to be UV resistant on both sides.
Worth asking the question before buying?
