Default Re: WTB: Windshield and/or install kit

So I thought that I'd post some pictures of the White Racing/Finland reproduction windshield for those who come later and look at this thread looking for help the way I did. Here are pictures showing the reproduction:





The exact details of the glass differ from OEM.

Here are the "cons" -
These do not have the LOF or Kool-off logos.
The logo they have is in the wrong corner.
The blackout along the bottom is cut at a sharp angle, not on a radius like stock.
Some say that the purple-ish tint is not as pronounced as stock.
They run around $1500 to your door (vs $350 for standard C4.)

Here are the "pros"
They are made by a high quality glass manufacturer. (As per my glass guy)
They have the correct factory laminate.
They have the correct radar cut-outs for both early and late models.
They do not delaminate.
They are available(White Racing sells a NOS late model glass for $4000, other than that good luck finding one at all.)
They are brand new.

I am very happy with my windshield since my insurance company paid for it. Had it been money out of my pocket it would have been a very hard decision. Good luck to anyone else having the same adventure!
