what are u running in ur extreme car trucks whatever.how thick should it be i would think alot of people use diffrent kinda glass,i got 1.25-1.50in thick bullit resistant glass straight from a bank.just wondering how thick u have on urs

from the looks of it the 1.5 would be fine.it looks thicker than that tho.i got someone buying some that going to double it up is that over kill or is that really the way to go.

Bullet proof glass needs to be at least 2" thick its softer than Acrlic and moves a more. So doubling the 1.2 to 1.5 would be a good idea.

I have 2" from an old build of mine but the door glass and windshield were so big that i may be able to cut them just right so I could double up and get 4" out of what I have. What is the minimum overall minimum size requirements. My windshield is 58"x22" and door glass is 16"x19". Is it possible with those numbers as far as surface area to make be able to double it up to 4"? Help please.

greg, the windshield has to be 4 sq ft or larger, the side windows need to be 200 sq in or larger which would be 12" by 12"
