They list "DOT Windshield" for their cars. Fran Hall relies on the automotive industry here in Michigan. Wouldn't surprise me if he found a supplier willing to build low volume windshields for him.
The Bede Litestar windshield tooling is $10,000.
The Lola Marauder tooling is $29,000.
They just need enough units ordered to justify the expense of tooling up.
Vehicle registation and licensing laws might allow a polycarbonate 'spyder' windshield for an open cockpit car,then afterwards,a roof mysteriously appears on the car in between inspections.
Buses have run legally with Lexan windshields.Wipers won't scratch them.
You've just got to anticipate Ken and Barbie barreling through a puddle alongside you,creating temporary blindness,and an ability to clear the screen.
