Default Great info

I'll be needing to replace mine soon too. I've got a few dings in it from all the daily driving, cruising, and road trips.

If I were you, I'd check on the price for HUD glass too. If it's not too much more I'd get HUD glass just to make for an easier & cheaper future HUD addition. HUD rocks.

OK..the definitive word.....

I went thru SafeLite here in San Diego and had my windshield replaced...they were really helpful..I highlily recomentd them

Heres the deal. They brought out a APTech (OEM Mfg) DW1430 windshield and and an APTech DW1514

Both had the same bugs in the corners (the info about the windshield), which included the HUD designation, sun shade 4.8mm etc....

The DW1514 cost 900 bucks the DW1430..cost 400 bucks!

Guess which one I went with....
