All the first gen windshields are the same, so what sub model you have does not matter. Here in the states they are readily available at any windshield installer. I got a new one recently for about $240.00, installed.

$250 sounds about right if you don't have insurance. Most companies will do a $100 install if you have insurance to cover the rest.

240 does seem high, the local place here quoted me 129 installed. figure I'll wait until the crack reaches the drivers side, though.

Diggin' the look of your 7. it's very.....bright. like the smoked front lenses, too.

call around. the prices varied wildly, and not everyone actually had the glass.

wtf?!?!?! 240? 100?!
LMFAO i went to a shop here in lasalle montreal and the guy said it was a special order and it would cost 470 with installation!
bahahahha so happy i said no
damnn i should really hit up places in the states...
whats a shop name tht i can go to? cuz here the cops are strict and if i get stopped and they see the crack and everything theyll send me to inspection and i wont pass :S
the front lenses arent smoked btw...its just a shadow from the sleepy eyes
i plan on getting front conversions (black) and smoking the back so it looks like a black strip...hmmmm

Looks like a GS to me. Does it have power mirrors? if it does than it's a GS without a sunroof.
