Product Overview
Tegiwa Polycarbonate Lexan Front Windows – Honda Civic Type R EP3
Swapping the factory glass for polycarbonate is one of the most effective ways to cut weight from a track or race car, and side windows sit high up where removing weight also lowers the centre of gravity. These Tegiwa front side windows are made for the EP3 Civic Type R as a direct replacement for the original front door glass.
Why polycarbonate?
- Lighter: polycarbonate is far lighter than automotive glass, with the weight saving high up in the car.
- Safer in competition: polycarbonate resists shattering, so there’s no shower of glass in an impact.
- MSA approved: suitable for motorsport use where polycarbonate windows are permitted by your championship regulations.
Things to know
Polycarbonate is softer than glass and scratches more easily. Clean it only with a soft cloth and a plastic-safe cleaner, never with abrasive products or ammonia-based glass cleaner. Windows like these are normally fixed in place rather than used with the electric window mechanism. Check your championship regulations for any requirements such as sliding vents or quick-release fixings.
