Lancer windshield same as the evo's?
yes it is lol... kevind from evolution dynamics has been over this. there is a weight difference between evo glass and a regular lancer. evo glass is lighter but a lot more expensive. im going to have to go with that he says seeing how he has actually weighed both windshields.
All should have a 3rd visor (black dots at the top) with a mirror clip.
Here search helps too....

One thing to keep in mind when replacing Evo glass is that it's thinner/lighter than Lancer glass, but generally more expensive. Lancer glass fits if you want to save the cash and don't care about a few extra lbs. (I believe the windshield is about 3 lbs. difference).
Above is for the 8/9, not sure about the X.

two different part # and two different price. looks like the Evo windshield is cheaper.

Look at your shield. It will have a DOT number as well as an AS #.
AS1 , AS2 , or AS3. Those are the only three styles of "thickness" a glass can be.
For instance my Dodge Dakota is an DOT-22 AS1. But I guess you are right you know.

but since its thinner, does that mean it cant be used on public roads?
One way I know for a fact they are different is the mount for the rear view between the lancer and the EVO. So you'll have to swap what the factory calls the button over or your rear view will not fit.
Second is where the rear view actually sits on the windshield it is higher up on the EVO than the Lancer IIRC.
As for thickness and weight I have no clue. I think I'm on like windshield # 4 and every time they have to transfer the mount over.

CONFIRMED -> Evo windshield is 3 lbs lighter than Lancer
Just had my windshield replaced today and got the Lancer windshield. the new Lancer windshield thickness is 4.85mm and the Evo windshield thickness is 4.15mm. so the Lancer windshield is .7mm thicker.
