Yes
Not as cheap as a stock one.
As glass companies do runs of thirty or fourty of them at a time.
That is reflected in the purchase cost
With a custom made screen additional cost are involved
Because they are made to order there is a set up charge, and production costs.
That are passed on in the cost per unit.
But at least he will have access to a replacement if it is ever needed

Does Andrew Clatworthy from Streetneat,have a few, I heard a while ago he did 15 or so, and is now selling them

thats interesting news
Andrew moved to NZ late last year
Where did you hear about him having these screens produced
Problem is, they would only fit a car cut to the same dimensions and shape as his.
And who do you think showed him how to get screens made using the process he has shown on his site

Paul, I'm not doubting who or whom possibly fabs those screens and it wouldn't surprise me in the least you actually did, But I was speaking to Andrew mid last year about some screens and yes he mentioned that he had 15 to go. Now you can take that anyway you want to, so I assumed they were for sale. Thats why I threw in a, DOES!......

not doubting what you say john, but when i spoke to him when it was posted that he had or was working on them, i think early to mid last year he still hadn't made any and didn't think it was going to be any time soon
have to try and find out how to contact him to see if he does or doesn't
one of those screens and a couple of weekends with my panel beater mate and i see another chopped 2 door pillarless sedan i my future
