Fitment is good, and if you put the stock molding back on it really does look pretty stock.

Most people on here say its not worth taking pictures because it just looks stock. LOL. I'm not sure how true it is as I haven't had it myself, but that's the response I have seen...

I have the speedglass in the front of my car and it does look stock from the outside. From the inside the veiw is distorted a little. The weight savings were 23 lbs over the stock windsheild. There is a small gap at the top of the windsheild but it dosent leak and you dont even notice it unless you are looking for it. I think it is a good product but after having someone install it i have almost 550.00 in it. If i had it to do over i would look into the lexan just to see if it would be cheaper and i would buy the cheaper one. hope this helps
