Where to get a new windshield and trim?

Ok, I was working on the car today and did something really stupid. Anyway, it looks like someone went all Chuck Norris on it so I'll be needing a new windshield. I also would like to grab some new trim while I'm at it. I think I remember reading somewhere that 91-92 camaros had slightly thicker windshield trim than other years. Is this true? Also, my winshield came with tinted glass. Over the years though it turned a nasty brown color and looked horrible when viewed close up from the outside of the car. It still looked pretty bad even after I had a 5% tint strip put on it. So I have several questions for you guys?
1. What years came without tinted glass?
2. Will I be able to switch out to a different year with no problem?
3. Where can I pick up some 91-92 style windshield trim?
4. Where can I buy a new windshield and tim at, and for how much?
5. Any part numbers?

Thanks, Josh.

I haven't replaced the windshield on my Camaro yet, but when I did it on my old Jeep Wrangler the rubber trim was already on the replacement glass and he pressed the whole thing in place. Also the trim was thicker on the new piece than the old.

I would think that all glass was the same size and fit for 3rd gens.
