Would you be interested in an EVO X lexan window kit?

We have been tossing around the idea of making an EVO X lexan window kit for the track guys and girls out there. Our EVO VIII kit was a huge success and saved a good chunk of weight off the car.

The EVO X kit should save about the same amount of weight and come in at about the same price or close to it.

I'm really interested in hearing if this is something you would consider purchasing as its a decent investment to have these guys made up.

let us know what you think. Here is a link to our EVO VIII Lexan kit so you can read about weight savings and what not.

looks good-but are there enough guys out there tracking the X to warrant a full production from you guys? I can think of 4-5 guys off the top...and some others that are running some kind of dbl duty on the car (that would prob. elmininate the lexan....cost, weight, and no real streetability).
Nice work tho guys-top notch!

i think that you could sell a few sets but like what 08evo said I dont think the X will be tracked as much as the previous generations of evos. Why spend 32k on a track car when you can get an 8 or 9 for mid 20s.

Well that is why AMS created this thread, to speculate and find out to see if there is enough interests...

Why buy an evo 8 or 9 when you can get a very fast go-kart for like 5k? Why track a Ferrari or a Porsche?

If/When my car stops being used regularly on the street, I absolutely would be interested. The problem is that I don't know when that will be the case.

whats the possible saving by changing the glass for plastic ?? The only info I can find is 1/2 the weight, but no numbers.
