Hey everyone, here’re I go again trying to save even more weight out of my 97 civic sedan. If you’ve been following along I already gutted and cut the front and rear doors. Now it’s time to change up the glass for lexan on the doors.
I bought the lexan from a local plastics supply store. And went to town on making what I needed. Hope this video was helpful for all of you and if you have any questions feel free to ask away in the comments!
DISCLAMER:
There are many ways to go about lexan windows. I am not a professional lexan window maker or installer. This videos is only to share how I went about making these pieces for my car. Please check your local laws in regards to change window material before doing this and driving it in the street!

I love the music choice here because I drive listening to this stuff all the time and plan on using it. Plus I'm gonna be building a Lambo Replica at some point and you can't buy windows. Ill make my own just like you did.

That is a really good idea. I started installing the lexan on the rear doors but used rivets. And since the car sits outside all the time I ended up getting some rain inside. I used silicone to seal it up a little better. I wish I thought of this to keep it clean. But I might do the front door like that so that way when it's hot out I can have air in the car lol keep up the work. Car looks awesome.

@C_Plus_Racing 3 года назад

Yeah man! Go for it! Thankfully I can keep my car in my garage but sometimes I tow in the rain and I try to keep this car as dry as possible lol

Get some large fender washers and put felt on one side of each. I'll distribute the load better, and the felt will help with vibrations.

@C_Plus_Racing 3 года назад

I had thought about that but didn’t have any fender washers. I’ll definitely be giving this a shot

@smoothctr1 3 года назад

Nice video man. I got a question for you tho. To run events don’t you have to be able to roll the front windows down? Also, how do you think it would work if it was mounted on the regulator to be able to open? Thanks

@C_Plus_Racing 3 года назад

Yes you are 100% correct! Most organizations require you to have both front windows down. And thankfully with the bracket I made I’m able to remove bother front windows really easily. I made the front more for towing reasons. And it’ll definitely work on a window regulator. My buddy has a set he uses on his hatch that he has starched to the oem regulator and he’s got no issues with them.

@UNDERFUNDEDGARAGE 3 года назад

Great diy bud! Questions! Where did you buy the lexan and how much was it?

@C_Plus_Racing 3 года назад

My buddy’s uncle knows a guy. And he scooped up a roll for me. I got lucky

@UNDERFUNDEDGARAGE 3 года назад

@@C_Plus_Racing do you haopen to know the thickness of the lexan?

@devisissy1 Год назад

Could you reinforce the lexan with a sandwich of several pieces of lexan and glue at the drill sites?

@Denniejones Год назад

What if the window was shattered and you don’t have a template how can you use Lexan instead of glass?

@findtherightbeat 3 года назад

Nice DIY! How thick are the sheets you're using? Thanks!!

@C_Plus_Racing 3 года назад

Thanks the sheets are 3mm thick

@quinton7854 3 года назад

when you are tracking this car, do you feel a weight difference between the coupe, hatch and sedan, idk if you have driven a coupe or a hatch

@C_Plus_Racing 3 года назад

I’ve had this car for 10+ years. And haven’t really driven a hatch or coupe, so I wouldn’t be able to give you accurate answers. BUT I know the 96-00 civic coupe and sedan have the same wheel base. So I’d tend to think they would handle similarly.

@datorr7470 3 года назад

Im pretty local to you based on your license plate, where did you get the lexan?

@giorivers 3 года назад

Logo on it says ( Makrolon sheets )

@C_Plus_Racing 3 года назад

My buddy’s uncle got the roll for me. He has the connection. But I’m sure if you google lexan sheet you should be able to come up with local spots where you can get a sheet.

@islandrsxboostedk2412 3 года назад

Bro can tell me what the thickness of the lexan u use

@C_Plus_Racing 3 года назад

I believe it’s 3mm

@454bigblock 3 года назад

Cutting a rubber block as a spacer instead of bracket would be better maybe?

@C_Plus_Racing 3 года назад

That’s a good idea I’ll give that a shot

@2STATICEJ1 2 года назад

Who did your roll cage?

@C_Plus_Racing 2 года назад

A shop in Bk called soul of the street

@Nikoszafer96 3 года назад

What's the thickness buddy

@C_Plus_Racing 3 года назад

Hey what’s up man!? I’m using 3mm thickness

@chuckmorris9868 2 года назад

👍Do you know the weight of your civic? Nice civic I'm going to build a oval track stock car with my 97 ek sedan. Our rules say we can't go less then 2100lbs.

@C_Plus_Racing 2 года назад

Hey how’s it going man! So sorry for getting back to you so late. But yeah as it sits she’s 2160 without me in it. And that’s awesome man! Best of luck with the build!
