ZR-1 Windshields
I have a contact that can make a run of ZR-1 "like" Windshields. These will be made overseas and you will have a choice of either the small cutout or a large cutout. These windshields will not delaminate.
These windshields will also have a Blue/Blue tint (sorry no bronze). OEM glass will put the original oem numbers on the windshields as well. The cost will be around $600 plus shipping. You can email me at zr1net@zr1.net |
What diameter will the "large" cut out be?
|
4" x 10" is Large
|
mom any new updates on the windshields?
happening not happening? thanks :!: johnny |
It's up in the air right now. The manufacture is now not sure they can make them because of the special coating between the glass.
Waiting to hear back for sure. |
I'd be willing to buy several, if more helped. Blue would look FANTASTIC on my Quasar Blue ZR-1!
O:) |
I would be in for one
|
For now sorry to say this is a dead issue. The deal fell though. :(

If you need an OEM you can try contacting this guy who is in NJ, and says he has some original ones still in the box. I think he is asking $1,200.00 per, and says some of them might have delamination. His name is Todd and he is at 1(908) 475-1167, or by email at toddcerami@comcast.net :cheers: |

Just wanted to say, my '95 still has no sign of delamination. Strange to say the least, I wonder how many others don't have it? :eek:
|
Mine dosent have any delam either.
But it was already replaced with a normal Vette windshield :) |
Mine does not have any delamination either and as far as I know it is the original windshield.
|
None here either and it IS the original one.
|
Too bad about the deal! Thanks for trying, though

I sure wish there WAS a solution to the windshield issue. I'm running a non-ZR-1 windshield. The price was right (under $300 installed), but the :cool: factor is just not there. :( |
Re: ZR-1 Windshields
Is there any way to try to put this deal through again now? Maybe things have changed...sure would be nice to have new glass.

Re: ZR-1 Windshields
I have a question. Is the impetus about getting windshields that look correctish for cheap? Or just getting ones that are good (a final replacement) and won't eventually delaminate?
Back when LOF was making ZR-1 windshields, GM was using a similar glass made by PPG in the Lumina APV windshield. It has the same metallic/neat tint look to it, had a cut-out, and served the same purpose as far as blocking heat/UV. However, I don't believe they suffered from delamination problems. I can't speak for anyone else, but I for one would be more interested in a quality/US made replacement that looked and functioned the same but didn't fail in the $1500-2000 range (same price as LOF ones that will probably fail eventually or have already started failing) than I would be in a cheap chinese made windshield that merely looked similar with tint/cutout. Just two cents, if even that. Though I've no idea if PPG would do a limited run of ZR-1 windshields. But if they still make Lumina APV replacement ones, I doubt those move in big quanities, maybe they could do it on the same scale? |
Re: ZR-1 Windshields
I know Dave has worked on this , and I took time to see if it could be done, but ran into a brick wall. Aside from the cost, it seems that safety issues prevent special runs from aftermarket companies, and LOF has no interest in even listening to our problems.:mad:

Re: ZR-1 Windshields
Is anyone going to SEMA next year? Maybe we could get some made by a company there?

the only difference is the radar cutout in the reflective material is couple inches larger on the 90-92 glass. this is something most people wouldn't notice. i can send you pics if interested.if you get someone who is careful removing your old glass without breaking it you could probably get $500 for it. thanks todd email me directly toddcerami@comcast.net |
