    Pilkington is making all the old Sigla molds, not too bad actually, but fitment is never simple, cars vary.

    You bought what "could be" the best GT4 around....and it already needs a new windscreen?

    the chipped windscreen was a factory option, didn't you know?

    i've really opened myself up to a potential verbal beating here! :)

    Well it ain't saying much for the BEST GT4 out there... but now that you own one, better make sure your sense of humour is there, you will need one. :)

    You can get away with every 5 years but any more than that and you're taking your chances!

    I hear most of them don't need the tires changed.

    Hey after being around Ferraris for 46 years. (I started this passion when I was 11) One thing I found out for sure. No matter how nice your Ferrari is there is always one out there better!

    Phil,

    Not to change the subject here is my response from Brian's contact:

    Hi Rob:
    I am familiar with the windshield but it is something we do not carry or
    offer in the States. They were always very expensive relative to the 308
    model 2 Seaters.
    I could check with price and availability overseas but I am confident the
    cost is at least $1100-1200 before we add freight to you. Let me know as I
    am just taking a guess from a while ago.
    Regards,
    Richard

    ProSource Glass International

    I see you have a Stratos that is very cool.
