Hey Monster, were you asking me or the other guy? I know I can get new STi glass installed right now for like $800 so ya, looking for something better than that. lol Basically, best price I can find I'll go with it. I do want OEM not WRX, fwiw.

I hear Don's mobile glass isn't too bad either. They do the glass for the subaru dealership up here.

why would u want to pay so much for oem glass when u can get aftermarket for so much cheaper? There really isn't much of a difference. I paid roughly the same amount as Subadubaru for a replacement windshield. Had I paid for OEM, it would've cost me about $400.
Besides, why pay $800 when a small little rock one day hits your thin windshield glass replacement and makes a big crack. You'll be pissed.

Ya, good point. I don't mind aftermarket, I just want to keep the thin glass so I can maintain OEM weight. What is the actual weight difference? I've never actually looked it up!

I wouldn't worry about it not being OEM glass. In my experience, as soon as you get the new glass you'll take a rock to the windshield sometime in the next week or so 
Just go with the cheapest you can find and be done with it (I've replaced at least 5 windshields in the last 7 or 8 years in various cars).

So yeah, just get some glass on there cuz it'll probably get fragged again.
