I think I’ve read somewhere that the lexan windshields are noticeably louder than glass - maybe glass has inherently more damping than the poly piece?
I’m actually pretty happy with how my windshield install went. I’ve really squashed my OCD when it comes to this car and with a black surround around the windshield you don’t notice the curve misalignment at the outer edges. When I had my windshield crack repaired the guy working on my windshield said they have a sealant that could produce a much more oem finish and still fill 1/4” gap. Live and learn
For the street SLCs out there - I’ve been playing with my suspension settings and my latest adjustments have really done wonders for the car. My settings are as follows:
Front alignment: -1.5 deg camber, 1/8” toe in, 4.5” ride height
Rear alignment: -1.5 deg camber, 1/8” toe in, 5.5” ride height
(I don’t care about tire wear and I’m partially running the fairly aggressive camber to help with tire clearance concerns.)
Front shocks @ 1 compression, 2 rebound
Rear shocks @ 2 compression, 2 rebound
Rear (carbon) wing on setting 2 (about 5.5 deg AoA). More details about wing settings in my blog here:

I’ve been concerned about dialing in too much rear wing but I didn’t get any front end lift issues on today’s drive. I was taking sweepers north of where I usually do and the car felt completely planted, felt like a lot more in it if I wanted to go even faster. I don’t have my front canards and I’m running the street splitter with the optional tunnels.
I may have gone down to Mexico for some high speed testing. With the wing at setting 3 the car was stable accelerating up to and braking from 140mph. Wing setting of 2 seems fine up to/from 125mph. I may head back south of the border for more testing at some point
The damper settings are comfortable for the bumpy California freeways and street driving. Generally, I find these dampers to be super stiff - at 3 compression the car doesn’t feel as planted, especially at the front. Still playing with rebound but 1 felt a bit soft for spirited driving.
I’m still running the factory springs though my rears are dialed out just about as far as they can go. I’ll need a longer spring at a minimum. For street the rates seem to be OK.
No canyon drives just yet with latest adjustments.
