Custom 2DR Evo X Project Help (Windows)

So here's the story. I'm strongly considering purchasing a mid way finished project of a 2dr conversion evo x. The desinger for the car has left the shop and I cannot contact him regarding his intentions to the windows and why he would even change the shape of the front 2 window dimensions. So I'm hoping you guys can give me some suggestions and insight on how I could go about fitting windows in this car. I have considered plexiglass (no), having a custom glass cut for the window ($$$$) or going with lexan. I realize I will not be able to use the motors for lexan as it will not seal properly and rattle, so I understand it will need to be fixed into the door. The current owner is assuring me the stock windows most likely will not fit and that's why the project was never completed.

Here are some pictures.

Looks like a complete mess. I'd start fresh and do it right. You'll probably put just as much money into that trying to fix it as you would with a non-modded one.

No offense, but it does. It looks like it has shark gills in the back.

Please don't buy that hideous POS. This is the third thread I've seen on it here and it makes me more and more sick every time it's posted.

It would look so much better if the roof was a bit lower... and if the body kit wasnt so damn ugly. Alot more too but to much to type about.

it really isnt in the worst shape. im sure you can connect all the body pieces (there will be a lot of fibeglass work) . get a nice side skirt. and for the windows, I would do rears with plaxiglass and customize front ones.
I hope someone who owns a body shop will jump in the conversation

I WOULD NOT buy a car where the guy removed the front mount and placed a straight pipe in. Once you get all the body work done, youll have to figure out the mess of a "motor" in that thing. DONT DO IT!

Why inherit such a headache of a project. Like mentioned earlier it'd probably be easier to start from scratch. Besides that.... It's hideous.
