    You know in my opinion the windshield is one of the biggest things that people neglect to fix, and it also looks the worse (besides a giant dent)..


    It just makes your car look like it's taken care of with a nice new windshield.


    I loved mine until it got dirty and sand microscratches the glass on the outside, but hey it has no cracks or bullseyes and I can see great so.

    when ever I get mine done, I accidentally chipped a corner down under the cowl cover, and later on it spread across the entire thing, It needed a new one anyway, but more work I can't afford, I know how to do the installation, but for the cost of the window, I might as well have it done.
