Ok, please search so this thread stays on topic - weight reduction are the words you should be looking for! Thanks!
We are going to get a couple of sets made so that we can weight them against the stock glass.

It's not really recommended for street car because noise and temperature won't be insulated well, also for dd, the weight saving will be insignificant.
Side windows are quite light on our cars, but swapping out all windows should give a nice 20lbs or so weight reduction. This is important because after the roof, its the next highest point of weight on our cars. Also 20lbs is quite significant to people on weight reduction, as they count them by ounces.
I would love to buy but shipping to Hong Kong would probably cost at least half the price of the windows ><

This would be a nice item to do at the same time as the carbon fiber roof, since the labor wouldn't be any extra.
