I'm sure he does... The difference between them is worth the extra cost. Non-HUD windshield would make the HUD look weird.

Where do you get your windshields? Places I've called want like $500.
And don't want to take a chance on a junkyard one

The one my friend's dad got for his 02 GTP w/HUD was like $200 installed. I don't know what your guys are on. :lol:

Well instead of repainting the hood, and having it possibly be wrong again, he just went ahead and blended the tops of the fenders to match the hood. It looks great now.

I just looked at the KBB on this car, these cars are holding their values amazingly. These prices are the same as they were more than 2 years ago.

Excellent $5,029
Very Good $4,729
Good $4,604
Fair $3,879

I think I'll start at like $4500 on it.

They're just hitting that 10 year plateau. Unless it's got super high miles or damage, there isn't much that's gonna change....

Some states allow you to replace your windshield at a reduced cost, so long as you have full coverage or a specific windshield clause on your policy.

In IL, you can get a whindshield replaced by insurance if you have a certain coverage for it. Don't know about other states. The GP was broken with a hammer (long story) and couldn't be declared "an act of god" I guess... :roll:

I have zero deductibe glass coverage on all my vehicles, but since I bought the car like this, it wouldn't be right to file a claim.

I'd think in pretty much every state, if you have glass coverage, it's covered. :P

I'm stunned. First person looked at it today, took it for a 10 minute drive. Came back and said they would take it. Gave me $400 cash to hold it until Friday. Never even bothered to negotiate on the price. I think I got lucky on this one.
