1) How will they be made ?
The are being made by an OEM supplier, and their Certification is above.
You see they are the OEM manufacturer for Tesla, Land Rover, Jaguar, etc.. So there is a high probability it will be acoustic glass. So it be of the newest standards. This type of glass has a special layer in the middle of the glass that is for sound deading.. it's used in most modern and high end cars, the kind they manufacturer the glass for.

So, as you can see above, they are being manufactured to US DOT / ECC Spec. Our glass will probably go in the oven between much larger orders as they aren't going to change the chemical and materials for a small order. One reason I got the price I did was probably due to the fact we are going in after a large order, that way they don't have to spool up the machine for us, and are probably going to use the tailings of the larger order in front to do our 100 pieces.
2) Will they be too thick ?
No, that I can be assured of, as they have both pieces of glass for comparison and told me it will be within that range.
They are the experts and have the data. So trust the process and the people you hired to do their job.
Also look online and you will not find a "Consensus of the thickness" for DOT Passenger windshields, but instead a range. Why is because the thickness can vary based on the size and shape of glass by miniscule amounts that will not affect fitment. Main thing is they have the factory glass and assured me it will be no thicker than the factory US glass, and can't imagine it will be thinner given the modern standards they will be made to.

3) Will it end up too big ?
Again, I sent them the stock used glass and the thinner Suselbeek for comparison ( and as extra insurance ) so they can confirm the measurements.
I have told them about the issues with older glass and they assured me it will be an exact replica dimensionally. The issue with Pilkenton windshields is that they were larger, not thicker.
4) What is the tint.. - See above picture.
They will be a light green as per standard OEM glass, want to know exactly, check out a Tesla 3.
It is that simple.
So the glass is in production, and they are telling me it should ship in a month.
Delivery in Virginia location expected in 120 days.
Updates here as we have them.
Thank you for your support..

In short they are the same tint as modern glass in any production car.

All done.. In the end we ended up with 88..
Some breakage after production.. heard involved a forklift ( I have horrible luck with windshields near forklifts..)
Told him not end of the world. Figured let those slide maybe better deal on Kadett/Manta/Ascona mold costs.
I think they look great.. can wait to see in person.
He is sending back my sample piece as well so I can confirm dimensions. I will replace the windshield in my GT to comfirm fit.
