Man the DOT has some of the craziest laws.... Lexan would be pretty cool to have in a street car....not only will it save weight, but it is pretty much un-penetrateable(sp?). My cousin is a vol firefighter and they had to watch this video of a fireman trying to bust through a lexan store front window with an axe..he couldnt do it. Same thing with 5-point harnesses. In SC the DOT says its against the law to have those on and not the standard shoulder strap...lets see, one belt that goes across my shoulder, and one that holds my waist, or 5 BELTS that keep me secure. A State trooper told me the reason it was against the law was because if you were in an accident and were unconcious, somebody might not know how to get you out with the buckle...
