So I was wondering if there were any aftermarket windshields that I could buy and install my self instead of going to a shop. Have any of you heard of such a thing?

Thanks

 

you can do one of two things.

#1 buy a honda, their winsheilds give you an extra 75HP
#2 pay your deductable and get a new windheild for $100

 

I think you should probably just leave installing the windshields to the ones who know what they are doing. Its not really that expensive either..

 

im puttin one in my car soon, got the windshield for free, just waitin for the guy to buy the adheasive and put it in, u can get them at junkyards cheap, also thats good cause if u break one just move on to the next f-body, ive even had a junkyard give me one for free cause i got it out without breaking it

 

I got a new one installed in my car for under $100. I think it was right about $75 or so. Just let the pros do it. Much easier.

 

I'd let the pros do it. If it leaks or messes up it should be under warrnty so they'd have to replace it for free.

 

Yeah that is definately one of the things I'd rather spend the extra money on and let the pros handle it.

 

cost me $160 for my windshield to be replaced

 

Getting a new windshield installed professionally is cheap enough that unless you know what you're doing, it's not worth it. It's not terribly difficult, but the glass is VERY important on a unibody car. The glass is part of the car's structural integrity, and if you don't use the right windshield adhesive or install it right, your car can crumble in an accident.

But... as long as you buy the proper windshield adhesive and install it properly, it should be fine, although it's not like you're going to save a lot of money.

 

if it just looks bad...
why not clean it?
do you mean its broken?
