Default Date coded windshield source??

I used to get my date coded windshields from OEM Glass. But they seem very expensive these days. Anyone know of another source for NCRS correct glass for 53-55?

Most of the aftermarket guys carry dated glass.

I believe that Corvette Central and Paragon use OEM Glass as their supplier. So I'm looking for alternate sources.

There've been a couple or more good threads regarding replacement glass during the past year, discussing fit, proper thickness of glass, sources of supply, other items. I'd try doing a search on the forum for further information.
