It's actually a bit heavier, thus cheaper.. I opted for the regular lancer one as well.

I think I read something about replacement windshields a while back, the difference is pretty small at most 5 pounds I'm gonna say.

I'm almost positive the Evo windshield is lighter and more expensive because it is made of an exotic lightweight material.

My question is how much lighter? A few hundred bucks might be worth 20-30lbs that high on the car. But if it's just a couple of pounds or less, why spend the money? Just run to the bathroom before you race

i doubt it would be even near 20 lbs because then it would be listed on the numerous weight saving threads on here.

I just had a lancer windshield put in mine as well, it was 260.

I think I read somewhere on here that the lancer windshield is 3lbs heavier.. I'll see if i can find it.
