I had mine done at safelite, i also have the auto dimmer. Make sure you tell them that you have an aluminum roof/hood so they don't dent it.

I went to their shop off of san carlos (near valley fair). You can reuse your old molding but watch out for leaks. Also make sure you pick a date when its not raining because you want the glue to set on the windshield

Car Info: Wish it was still my WRB STI
I kinda organized a group buy for windshields a while back and we got it for $150-$160 for PPG glass. I paid $180 for my 02 with PPG glass. It's a place in South San Jose and although I've passed the car onto my brother shortly after getting a new windshield, I believe it's still holding up very well. As for the autodimming mirror part, it's just a wire that connects to the mirror, not to the windshield like some Mercedes rain sensors.

When I had a crack on my 04 WRX windshield, I went with this guy, whom I found on i-Club.
Premier Auto Glass
Operations Manager: Elmer Ramirez
Main: (408) 943-1200
Mobile: (408) 829-9367
Charged me only $175 cash (Pilkington brand).
Oh and the OEM windshield is not something one should go back to.
