Default 4th gen windshields installed for $165

I just got my windshield installed in my driveway for $165
normal cost is $155 plus $10 for new trim... if anyone wants the info on the guy PM me. I was told this was an awesome price so i want to share the info with all of you. He was fast, polite and cleaned up after himself. I was very happy with his service.
He is located in the D/FW and surrounding areas

the actual cost of the windshield AND install is like 145 but i got new trim as well and it went up to 155 but our trim was a little more than normal so the end price was 165 for windshield, trim and install,

Those are just taken off with a single edge razor blade and stuck back onto your windshield. I can probably get mine installed for $100.

Shackle you've been debating windshield repair/replacement for a while. I think you should check in on this around town. I bet replacement is not near as bad as you think for the $$$.

I hope. Assuming I get a Christmas bonus from work this year, I'll use that money. I also need to get my side windows re-tinted. They're terrible. There's a big streak up the glass. I don't know from what. I'd hate to get them re-tinted and that damn streak show back up.
