Anyone have an idea on the weight of a zx3's two side rear windows and the hatch window?

30 pounds.... flex-a-lite makes poly carbinite replacements that are not yet street legal. but they are like 200-300 bucks for them. found them in a bumper to bumper parts catalog. they are said to shave 30 pounds and are scratch and shatter resistant.sorry had to check.

is it worth $200 to shed 30 lbs?

I would think it would be more worth it to to "free" mods to shed the pounds.

Yeah, I guess so. I mean people cough up xtra for light weight wheels and c/f hoodsand stuff. I mean you save like 15lbs on a cf hood, maybe 20-30 lbs on lightweight wheels, why not another 20-30lbs on lightweight windows. So you get maybe 65-75lbs of weight loss in a zx3...that's not to bad, then a back seat delete job..so now your pushing 85-100 lbs...hmmm

i think lightweight wheels is a little different though, and i was skeptical at first until youve drove on stock 16x7s and then switched over to rotas, it was like a whole different car.

hmmm, did you get some liquidated light weight windows for a ZX3 (or multiple sets)

how much for those pieces?

either that or you just bought a ZX3

ok, first off I missed the shedding the free weight...

working on some deals...no, I haven't picked up a zx3.....

hmmm, estimate in price?

Posted: **Mon Sep 25, 2006 9:30 pm**

Any interest? 3pc kit, both side rears and the hatch piece. I'm trying to swing under $300. Very likely. BTW, pricing averaging $500 at retail on a $995 msrp plus (individual windows $200+), truck shipping. Of course, I can meet up for delivery.

hmmm, focinite said he saw some for 2-300, so I was hoping fo rless tan that (maybe he menant per piece)

but I think I am interested, as long as you can keep the cost minimal

got a line on any CF hatches yet?

Posted: **Mon Sep 25, 2006 9:38 pm**

no cf stuff. got a line on a set of Falken Ziex 512's, 205 45 17 for $350 total.
