Those are the "'l'll bring cash" price..
I'm guessing any windshield is fine, but wondering if certain are better than others since at the bare minimum $425 is a lot for a windshield.

HUD windshields contain a "wedge" design..there is a center layer that gets thicker the farther you go down.
That center layer allows it to produce a "clear" image..nomrally you get the double image on a NON-HUD windshield.
