Unanswered: Pilkington windshields

In need of a windshield for my new GT project car, all suppliers locally were inclined to look to Pilkington Classic Auto Glass as a source. I called them and they said they have NEW ones, made in England, with a green thermally reflective tint for $350 with $150 shipping. They're in stock in an Ohio storage facility.

Is that the best I can do pricewise? Are there any issues with their quality?I'm in New Jersey and I'm sure there're some of you guys who live near me who might have used ones or maybe might know of a cheaper/better source.

Thoughts and offers, please.

Do some searching and I believe you'll find out they don't fit properly. Opelspyder installed one in a car and had to have it cut down slightly as the curve, IIRC, isn't exactly right and it had to be cut to be usable. Check out Defective Windshields!
