Default Windshield time!

Anyone have any suggestions as to where I should get my windshield replaced without getting raped? A dump truck totalled mine last fall with a rock, it sounded like a gunshot going off and looked like a baseball hit it. Crazy thing was I was at least 200 feet behind and in the lane beside him... Oh well its better than it hitting my hood or headlight i guess?

Also do any of you guys know what the ballpark price range is for one of these windshields?

I have heard some conflicting comments on the aftermarket vs OEM windshield.

I've read that PGP will pit easily compared to OEM and I've heard the opposite.

Ive also heard a couple of things about aftwermarket, the most expensive thing about changing the windshield is the molding, if u need to replace ( assuming that it cant be salvaged) it can be almost as much as windshield.

Hmm interesting, I'm only driving the car in the summer so the windshield wouldn't be going through as many elements as a typical one would. Does the molding usually need to be replaced? I was thinking the windshield itself would be expensive because the s2000 isn't all that common...

the windshield moulding is no more than $20 bucks at your local Honda dealer.
