Not OEM, but a very good substitute.

Well, you really can't get OEM glass here. KW used PPG glass for our group buy. I'm actually pretty impressed with it. Had two rocks hit my windshield during my last track day and neither cracked, starred, or bubbled.

Sam at KW should beat any price.. he's a personal friend of mine, so i'll link him to this thread, and he should be able to give you a convincing price.. =)

I had my windshield done at Kuttek / KW over the weekend. I made an appointment on Tuesday and drove to the shop on Saturday. There was a delay, apparently because they were waiting for the rubber molding to be delivered. I don't know why they didn't have it ready. The molding they used is not the OE molding, although the price they paid for it is about the same as the Honda OE molding from www.hondaautomotiveparts.com. It is a lot thicker and a little harder, and distorts in the upper corners. The inner edge is wavy in a couple of places too. They installed the wiper arms crooked.

I decided to take the time and drive up to San Leandro to get these guys to work on my windshield because this thread made it sound like these guys did high quality work and used great materials. It's great that they were so cheap and used good glass, but the quality of the installation and the molding was not close to being worth the drive. Next time I will find somewhere closer and bring the Honda molding with me.
