Update time. I finally got to meet with the fiberglass guy today. I spent 4 hours there with him discussing various things and ideas but the main reason for going was about these qurater glass windows. After talking with him, I have figured the price to be $160.00 per set + shipping. I do not know a price for shipping yet but I am guessing between $20 and $30 in the USA. I have also decided to not offer them covered. Sorry but it will just be too time consuming to do at a low cost. It is easily done yourself with convertible top material of your choosing and some spray adhesive. Your own time to do it is a lot cheaper than you paying me to do it. They will only be available in plain fiberglass. As with any fiberglass part, there will be some minor finish work/prep work before they can be painted or covered. The mold should be completed in about a week at which time I will start accepting deposits/orders.
The deposit will be $85.00 up front (payable by money order or paypal. If paying by paypal there will be an extra charge of $5 to cover the paypal fees. This $5 is on the deposit. The balance of $75.00 will be due when they are ready to ship. There will be a $4 charge if paying by paypal. This charge is on the balance. Then there will be the shipping charge which has yet to be determined.
Once the mold is complete and everything is good to go, I will start a thread in the mall with clear prices and methods of payment.
Due to the fiberglass guy being almost 2 hours away, I am hopeing to do a group buy type of thing to save money on getting the pieces to me for shipment to you.
Stay tuned cause we also have another inexpensive project that we are working on that may interest a lot of you also. I'm not quite ready to let the cat out of the bag yet but It will be a nice addition to the car that will compliment these windows.
From the inside of the car looking out the back window? Really not much to see. It doesn't look any different than a stock window other than it is much clearer due to nothing being there.

I have spoke with my fiberglass guy today and the molds are complete! We are now ready to start accepting orders.
To recap... OK, I just got off the phone with my fiberglass guy. I have worked out arrangements with him to get a few sets in my hands and ready to ship. He is also going to paint 1 set in Gloss Black. I will have these in my hands in about a week. I will post pics of them once I have them. The one painted set will be for sale at the price of $250.00 shipped. *****This will be the only painted set I will sell*****. I will also offer them pre covered in Black Converible Top Material for $290.00 shipped. No other color material will be offered.
you have a pic of a set installed and not covered with fabric?
Not yet. I don't have a set in my hands. We are only making them as they are ordered. Once some orders are placed I will take pics of them uncovered. they will be just a Gel Coated fiberglass. You have 2 options...paint them to match the car or a accent color or cover them with a material.

im thinking they would look good painted gloss black, with maybe a airbrushed logo painted on them where the GT would normaly go, but im not sure how they would looks without having the actual glass there, once you get a pic of just the painted fiberglass, if it looks as good as i think, ill def be in for a pair.

They would look pretty good painted which is what id do.. its a shame I'm broke ( like a lot of others i bet ) id take a set and store them.
I ended up making a set like that out of thin sheet metal painted flat black to match the vents.. Didn't turn out great, but as a dry run before i use heavier metal later after i replace the rear clip they will work...
