Source for Lexan front 1/4 windows
Long story short, my 69 outlaw came with carbon outside mirrors which were held by adhesive to the door/window frame. The car had been repainted some time ago and the holes for the original mirror mountings were filled. Going to go with the Achtung-Kraft through-the-glass mirror, most likely on the left side only.
This would require drilling a replacement lexan front quarter window; can anyone suggest a good place to get one that fits properly. For reference, this is the link to the mirror. Comments welcome. https://achtungkraft.com/products/bullet-mirror-wing-mounts

Good selection of thickness, style and tint , if wanted. Least expensive place I found before tariffs though.

Since those windows are flat it would be easy to cut your own.

Thanks for the responses. Plastics4performance was $127 including shipping and fees, so, with Lexan sheet in the $15-25 range, I will likely go the DIY route. This is for 3 ml thick material. I saw different recommendations online for cutting it, but would appreciate if anyone can suggest best method for this thickness.

Band saw, and don't take off the wrappers until you're ready to install it. Finish the edges with a sanding block and work up to 1200-1500 grit. It'll leave the edges looking as smooth as glass.

When cutting lexan or any acrylic, try to go as slow as you can with blade speed else the blade will melt the material. If you can't control the blade speed, cut larger than you need and file/sand to the exact size and as always, wear a respirator.

1/4 windows are easy to make. Get Margard MR10 material, won't scratch like typical lexan.
Cheers

If you decide against cutting your own, check out Race Plastics. Even with shipping from the UK they are half the price of other places.
