There is a company that has started making carbonfiber or fiberglass fenders, doors, and the rear hatch for the Focus. Problem is this isn't permitted in any of the street classes...it would bump me god knows where.

I am pretty sure there is nothing illegal about replacing your glass with lexan. Its safer than the glass.

There is federal legislation about what kind of glass you can use for vehicle windows and I think that is it. I think the state laws are all about visibility (tint, stickers, cracks, etc).
