Default New here! NFR in FW!

Hey just wanted to stop by and say hello. Recently moved to Fort Worth from Los Angeles, CA and it's been a hell of a change. Not seen too many s2ks on the streets yet, but I know there are some of you around somewhere!

Looking forward to any event, meets, or track days the area has to offer. Hope to meet some of you soon.

As a first question here... Any recommendation for windshield glass replacement? Of course my first month here i got a huge crack across the windshield!

First off, welcome to the metroplex. It's a completely different world from what you are used to in SoCal, but we do have a fairly robust and activel local S2000 community. I recommend you signup to the FB page and attend our monthly Third Thursday meets, you'll get to meet quite a few of the local guys, and learn a little bit more of the area (as the locations of the meets varies during different regions of DFW).

As far as your question on replacement screens, I don't have any suggestions, but will keep an eye on others responses as I would like to get mine replaced fairly soon as well (extensive pitting and a small crack in on corner).

I found a spot in Dallas called Deep Ellum Glass... and they gave me a decent quote for $246 using Pilkington Glass which to my understanding is one of the best aftermarket OE equivalents you can go with... any advice?

There is a track day the 31st of January at MSR Cresson. You can sign up on the apex driving academy website. There are normally a few of us s2k guys out there.

Welcome! Your just in time for the 3rd Thursday meet, this month its at Keller Burgers (which has been around for decades) in Dallas. Dallas is nothing like Ft. Worth, btw, don't get confused by the DFW name.

Welcome to Texas. I cannot recommend this place , but they offer the two best options for replacement glass, Pilkington and PPG.
