Re: Lexan Windows - Is Marguard worth it?
i bought a 1/8 4x8 sheet locally for 85 and a tinted one for 95. i still have enough for another windshield and all side glassCraig W. wrote:I priced a 4x8 sheet of 3/16" Marguard for $365 and a sheet of regular 3/16" for $165. One sheet will get really close to doing an entire Nova. It might be a tad sort on one quarter window but I haven't measured it all up just yet.

Here's what the smoke tint looks like, this sample was provided by Pro Glass. I'm not sure if it has the marguard on it or not, going to guess not as it has plenty of light scratches in it - I assume it was a scrap piece.
This was taken in full sunlight. I would classify it as a light tint, looks a bit darker inside.

Looks pretty good. Might have to see if my local vendor can get the tinted stuff for a reasonable price.

Re: Lexan Windows - Is Marguard worth it?
Some of the local bike guys tint clear and spray their sheilds on the bikes. I am going to try some on my car and see how it turns out and lasts. I bought large sheets from Percy's so I have some to play with.
Re: Lexan Windows - Is Marguard worth it?
I wonder if its hard to get an even looking coating on something as large as a window. Let us know how it turns out.

Man - last time I tried some of that spray on tint stuff it turned out looking like crap. Course that's been a LONG dang time ago, I think it was made by "Cal-Custom" or something like that lol.

Lol! I'm not going to spray it. I'm going to leave it to one of the pros at work
Re: Lexan Windows - Is Marguard worth it?
I've ran nothing but the marguard in the past. Always had good luck with it.
