My MY00's windshield is seriously pitted... enough that it's really starting to impair vision.

Can anyone recommend a shop to get it replaced? Ideally someone who can come to the car while it's parked at work...

I ended up going through www.89glass.com. They contract with local vendors who come out to the car. Makes life easier. Plus, it only cost me $150.

We'll see how the install goes later this week.

I'll be checking in on this thread. I've got numerous chips and tons of little pits. I don't know how it happens. I only drive the speed limit and never tailgate.

It's because the glass that Honda uses is crap!

Maybe, but I was being sarcastic with my description of my driving habits!

Yeah, I know... but seriously, the glass they use really is crap. I've never seen this much damage on a windshield on a car in MY LIFE!

i would say so. that's why didn't want OEM just to replace it every 30K miles.

That's really cheap. I had mine done a little while ago and it cost me a lot more than $150. Is this including the S2000-specific moulding for the windshield glass?
