even with shipping to the islands, it might be cheapest to go through the dealer. check car-part.com for used parts. don't you have full insurance coverage on your 98 LS?

some one took a razor to all the windows. I can live with the windshiled being scratched up, but the rest gotta be fixed. I didnt want to claim insurance just yet because I dont know when it happend. Plus I just got into a lower rate plan with Gieco, and if I claim Im sure they are gonna rape me on insurnace again. But I am fully covered. How can I tell what color my glass is? Thanks for the support guys..

What color is your car? I know cashmere beige comes with brown tinted glass.

There are 2, brown tinted, and green.

The color is a Mirca blue with cream interior. The thing is I dont know when exactly it happened. Thats why I havent called the police to do a report.

I don't think you need to know the time. It might count as a hit and run. My LS was backed into by someone in an ML430. I didn't discover it until hours later and a long road trip, but know that's how it occured. Reported it to the insurer who required a police report to label as a hit and run. The best part is, in Michigan, there is no deductable on a hit and run.
