Much as I'd like a "Z" windshield, for $280
installed, Safelite put a base mo. (L98) in a black Z in Marc's shop. Until then, I really hadn't noticed how
nasty my original "Z" windshield - even tho the delam was only about 1-1/2 or so wide, looks in comparison.
Apparently, the delam (or something!) is affecting how my entire Z windshield actually looks (besides the cracks, that is
). That new windshield was strikingly
beautiful! It was the clarity that I noticed right away; so crystal clear throughout with a perfect factory like tint that ran evenly all the way to the edges of the glass...
Imagine that!
Even if $$ wasn't tight, (restoring the nose and painting the whole car) after seeing that "new" windshield at Marc's (Scottfab forgive me)
I wouldn't have any qualms about going with a standard windshield. I'd avoid the possibility of future delam starting all over again - there was that much difference in appearance - and not have a heart attack when a rock "snapped" the glass while driving down the road.
Assuming I have her all put back together in time for BG, y'all can have a look and you can be the judge.
Just a thought.
