Can't see why it wouldn't...

It's only the back screen is anyway different because of it being moulded in and a different rake.

Your screen is not bonded.

But it still fits.

There's a few people who have done this...

I don't see it making much difference, just something to trap moisture and rot your scuttle :)

You'll need new interior trim pieces as well.

2)heated screen
3)m3 screen
4)leave it alone

leave it alone

i doubt anyone unless you are one hell of a driver ( with years of track and race experience) and know your car and the track very well you will ever notice an improvement in the car and how riggid it is compared to a stock screen

the money its costs to do is better spent else where improving your car

the only agavntage is that it makes your car harder to break into and steal, but then again you and still get in through the rear screen in about 15 seconds
