Maybe I'm biased b/c my personal cars are still street legal and have the factory glass in them, but I hate looking through lexan. The stuff is horrible to see through at night, scratches so easily, and generally looks terrible IMO. Taking the lexan out of the Camaro I drive for a friend and putting a real windshield back in it.

You're either using the wrong stuff or not taking care of it right. You can't treat it like glass.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I have been very happy with all my ProGlass stuff. Most people think it is glass, if you take care of it they will last for a very long time. I used Pro Glass because they used formed pieces for windshields rear windows etc
