i seem to have bad luck with windshields... a rock shot up and did some damage to mine while i was in LA last week. In my previous car, the same thing happened on the way back from the dealers :roll: That one was just a crack, it never spidered out. On my evo, it has :? .
Does anyone know if it can be repaired? or if i need to get a replacement... and where i could get either done at? Prices could help to :)

thanks!

Once it spiders your toast. It should be about $250-$300 for a new one. Most places have mobile installation which makes it not as bad.

from estimation of size by looking at those photos you are done...if i remeber corectly up to 6 inches can be fixed, larger and its repalcement only.

When mine got replaced it was a regular lancer windshield not an EVO one. Is the front windshield supposed to be the thinner type like the rest of the windows or is it supposed to be normal? Just curious.

for now i'd place some clear packing tape on the the center of the crack until you get it replaced/repaired. they say it helps keep it from spreading.
