IMHO glass looks better, has better reflectivity (looks authentic) and greatly resists scratches. Worth the extra $$$. --- End quote --- Plexi is more scratch resistant than Lexan and many use Lexan for thir CP overlays. If you are subjecting your window to that level of abuse, I'd say that something is a bit out of kilter with your playing style :) Also, "better reflectivity" is not a desirable trait for a window, unless you like extra bright room reflections overlaid on your game screen. Don't let the fear of scratches shy you away from plexi. I have been using it for a couple of years now and it hasn't a single scratch of any significance. RandyT |

There must be some attraction with glass though, as so many people seem to use it. Also I assume that tinted glass will cut down on reflections?...maybe not, I don't know. Anyone comment on that? I know I've asked this already but what is the best overall tint level to go for with glass? There must be a common consensus? thanks a lot |

Ok this is p***ing me off now. I must have phoned up about 20 glass merchants today and most that offer the tinted glass only do either bog standard grey or bronze. When I start talking about different levels of tint/transmission grades etc, I am met with the same vacant sounding responses. They think I'm a friggin' alien or summat - lol. Has ANYONE in the UK managed to get hold of the 'correct' grey tinted glass required for their cabs? help! |
