There are good arguements for Lexan, and they are being given serious consideration.
The 7lb delta between Lexan & glass is a good data point - thanks.

There are some 6'5" drivers in the RMR- they requested modifications to allow more headroom last year.
A sheet of aluminum is <$50, one time cost. Opening the door to the other things mentioned (coilovers

This rule has been well received, and is not up for debate.
Lexan will be debated on it's own merits.
Eric,
I'm not trying to debate the roof panel again, I understand that it is now a legal modification, I'm just trying to debate the point that I would have already paid for a installed lexan windshield with the price that I've paid for all the chipped and cracked glass. It too is an easy install. It gives a neglible weight gain, similar to the roof panel.
I've run only PCA up to this point, I don't know, maybe they are more stringent on glass but I have to run by NASA rules and hope that it's seriously considered as not a performance modification but something to help save money in the long run. If I were looking for the performance advantage I would have went with the roof panel already.
How about Lexan or roof panel but not both
