Default White skylights?

Hi!

Does anyone know where to buy white skylights? The kind you find on newer Formulas? I have a 292 SR1 '89 and I was thinking of replacing the stock black to white.

Tanks!

I've been wondering if the newer white hatch lids would fit on the older black frames.
Otherwise, lots of us SR-1 owners have painted them white.

The "white" hatch "glass" is frosted lexan, I thougth it should be readily available from any local glass supplier, but after phoning around here it seems to be rare. One of the glass guys explained that there is a plastic film that could be applied to the inside of clear Lexan that would yield the same look or sand blasting would do the same! I Goggled "frosted lexan" and got lotsa hits, looks like more looking around might yield an answer.

What about the frame? If you want the newer white look, you need to replace the whole thing, or paint it. I bet the Lexan is "sonically welded" to the frame...
