MAC Motors has OEM rear strikers, but no fronts.
I didn't even know about the shims, what are they for? Is it just for making adjustments, or are they always used?
I ordered the tempered glass and sent a picture of the original gasket to the glass company to see if they could match it.
Before ordering I measured one of the original windows. It was pretty damn close to the 20 1/16 by 14 1/8, if anything it may have been 1/16th oversized from those...
Well, two of my frames dont have any gaskets, and I cant find OEM gaskets anywhere. So I'm rigging up something with foam U-channel from McMaster Carr. I'm going to measure everything carefully and make sure it will work before placing the order. Honestly, it seems to me like the frames are...
Got a quote from a second vendor, they quoted $90 for lam, and $45 for tempered, so in the same ballpark.
I finally got my doors today, so I'm going to pull the glass out and get some good measurements before pulling the trigger.
But your still limited to the max rpm of your engine, for a given transmission and gearing right? Point being...on an M998 with a 3 speed, you shoudn't exceed 55-60mph I'm told. If you were to add a turbo to the engine but keep the same transmission and gearing, wouldn't it still be a bad idea...
I don't think the top speed is neccessarily about power, more about not exceeding max RPM's and overspinning the engine. More power would just help get you there faster.

I see two that have been painted civilian colors, that's it.
If anyone is interested, I got one of the quotes back from a glass shop. They quoted $95.70/ea for laminated glass, or $47.12 for tempered glass. Still waiting on a quote from another vendor. You guys think laminated is worth twice the money?
I'm running 24 bolt wheels with Bajas (load range E) and runflats, and they have been balanced. They run totally fine at 60MPH (haven't gone any faster than that).
I'm currently waiting on quotes for the glass from 2 local glass shops.
In the mean time I will also need the gaskets. I can't find them anywhere, not even at Mac Motors. I found some generic rubber U-channel on McMaster Carr:
