Windshield

What a fine ...king day! I had stone in my windshield and now I have to change it!

Local Toyota dealer said that OEM glass and work is about 1540$ (work is 290$)

So where can I find cheap aftermarket windshield glass???

How bad is the crack/chip? Sometimes it can be repaired without replacing the windshield and insurance covers a repair for free, depending on which insurance company you have.

It´s now cracked about 15inch
In here you have to have separate insurance for windshield, and no I dont have it...

Okay, I bought falken FK-452 (245/35/20) and they are absolutely horrible!!!!

When I drive about 40-50 mph it feels like you have air compressor on you backseats, the sound is horrible!
Also the rearview mirror shakes like hell!
When I drive about 65 mph the sound is not that bad.
And yes, we have quite rough roads.

here is one bad pic, about rims.

the data system is a controller that enables those UL owners to be able to control air suspension settings to their liking. Cool gadget. Im a lowly ML owner- wish i could drop my lexus whenever i wanted.
