You can buy it in sheets from various plastic companies. That's what we did on our old '55 Chevy drag car, bought 4x8x 1/8 sheets and cut our own windows. Very Easy.

The price difference between Spektr and home made is substantial.

1/8" for track cars, 3/16" for street.

Some suppliers on the net offer less than full sheet sizes. Here's one:

HI,

I brought a stock GT3 cup window to my local hardware store and they traced the front section and made some pieces from it for me, very cheaply. I can't run side windows in SCCA but there is too much drag with no windows. So I made small windows like the vent windows in the old cars.

good luck!

Like Doug said, you can get an entire sheet for less than 100$ and cut and mold your own, very easy.
