<x-flowed>Hey- I went shopping at The Home Depot yesterday, and I priced out some 
Plexi and some Lexxan. the Lexxan is way more than the cost of the plexi! A 
large sheet that might net you your vent windows and the hatch window was 
$99! For about the same size in plexi you're looking at about $30.  Theonly 
thickness they had was too thin. I also think they're overpriced. I couldn't 
find a piece of opaque plastic, so I bought a 12" square piece of plexi for 
$1.75 to put where my heater controlls/stereo was (I'm moving my gauges and 
switches to the dash).
Should look weird with a 'clear' dashboard!  -Anyway, I'm going to check at 
Pearl Art Store today to see if they carry plastic or Lexxan.

I also grabbed a length of metal to make a short shift kit. Do you happen to 
have one out of the car? I want to measure the added length on the piece 
with 3 holes...

Chris
