Windshield replaced with PPG glass! Took less than 2 hours. Luckily, the guy who did the installation worked on another Z about a month ago.

I can see out the front now!

Good to know. I was told PPG is way better than OEM anyway. Plus, it says made in America.

I agree that other countries can definitely compete in quality of product and can often exceed us... but every country has its own sub-par brands.
