Default I Need a New Windshield

Admittedly, I was riding this *****'s *** that was in a mustang gt. He was driving like a jerk... And crack. A foot long line from the left side horizontally, fully in my line of sight. Crap. Killed my good day.

Sorry to hear about that sick. Yeah, make absolutely sure the windshield you get is an OEM, not aftermarket. Don't know what your deductible is, or how your insurance works with cracked windshield, but the most you will have to pay is the deductible.

I realize that you do not have a Lexus dealership closer than a few hours away. I just hope you can find someone in your area that can order the Lexus OEM windshield and also do a proper job of installing it.

Ouch! That's painful to even look at. Ty for the photo though. Better save this as a lesson to stay far away from ***** drivers.

Hope you get her back to normal soon! G'luck with the repair sick.

Thanks guys..

And yeah, the front of my car has a ton of chips in the paint. I feel like this car has more chips than any other car I have ever had. And it scratches super easy.

Yeah they are prone to chipping. Knock on wood but my LS seems to have better paint. Got a full front clear bra for it anyways.

Nope, my old 2011 Camry had the chips on the front end and windshield. It's just part of the life of the car. The clear bra would be ur best option for this and I wonder if u can clear bra the whole windshield too..

You can wrap the whole car, there were a couple of Teslas and a 911 GT3 having that done when the LS was in ha I g the fro t end done. Costs about $5-6k.

There is also a product you can put on the windshield.

The product I could put on the windshield I'd definitely be interested.. I'll have to do some searching. That way I can protect my next window if it's possible...

Its expensive, i think like ~$400 for that particular area. Glass is a comprehensive claim...
