as manntis said any auto glass company can get them the glass will cost around 100$ and around 90$ to install im talking from experince.

i almost did it my self tho the junkyards wanted around 60-80$ for a no where near perfect one and i had to remove it. then ya have to buy a special 3M silocone and the trim clips which is the easey part.
then i had no warenty on it cracking or leaking so i found a shop was a better choice.

winshield

Well, if it's only a couple hundred to get one installed, thats the way I'll go. After taking the old one out I don't even want to deal with the nightmare of installing another.

I thought about lexan but I'm going to drive it alot on the street so I'll stick with the safety glass.

Thanks for the response

Windshields with certain color combination are almost impossible to find. Even when located it might been damaged during storage. Call Ira at Glass Seekers 1-800-345-4527. Price can be $380 for glass. (But Insurance pays for most of costs) Use a shop that will guarantee not to break the Glass when they installing.
