Neutral Density plexiglass or lexan

[mikusia]

I am trying to get hold of Neutral density plexiglass or lexan to replace the windows in a car for a shoot. I just dont know where I can get hold of this specific item. since it cannot be color tinted. I am looking for ND 0.3 to 1/2 stop loss. does anyone know where I can get hold of this?

would greatly appreciate any help given/

I'd assume that the gel makers (Rosco, Lee, GAM) sell ND gel in acrylic sheets. For example, Page 10 in the Rosco catalog mentions acrylic panels:

Not cheap, by the way... almost not worth spending the money for only a one-stop adjustment -- you almost might be better off using a large Double Net scrim in a frame, which is also a one-stop loss, if you can be sure of keeping it out of focus (i.e. not right up against the glass.)

And of course there is adhesive car window tinting material.
