If you have a good insurance with glass coverage and your car is under 12 months old, then you are entitled to the OEM replacement. Otherwise, it is your choice. I would prefer an OEM, $1400 in Illinois (installed).

Just get oem, aftermarket windshields suck, honestly i can't say i've ever had a worse time with anything than having to deal with a windshield that didnt fit properly, had a ridiculous amount of wind noise, make strange sounds as if it were going to crack, and eventually did after being hit by a small pebble.
