oem rear glass

youcantzme · 10-10-2008, 11:46 PM

well i had my oem glass installed on my mastergrade hatch, but the hatch broke and the other when i was taking it off the car with the help of my cousin, he drooped it and broke the glass......

I dont know what to do because my new mastergrade hatch is comming in soon and i dont know whether to put a new glass or get a plexy glass.....

does anyone know the cost of an oem glass with brake light assembly and the cost of the plexy glass....

you can tint lexan glass just like you would regular glass right??

Jim@Showstoppers · 10-11-2008, 08:04 AM

no you can't. Lexan is a plastic and will melt if heated like normal glass during tinting. You can buy a "spray" tint. Also, with lexan you lose your rear defrost and wiper....but it is REALLY light.

I was going to say contact Jim@showstoppers, but he's already chimed in with some helpful info.

I've been considering the MG hatch and will most likely purchase in the future. This lexan option is a good find. Now about that smoked version?

I personally run this one now. Its a bit lighter than a 5% tint in case you are wondering just how dark it is. The 1/8" thickness may be an issue if you run any race events.
I do autox frequently and nobody has ever caught on or cared enough about its thickness since its dark.

If you google Nissan 350z lexan, you will find a company who sells a smoked lexan rear window. I dont believe it lists a price though.
