I bought the car used from a small semi-exotic car dealership in Pheonix. The dealer had a brand new windshield installed at an SPF dealer there (Anthem) right before I had the car shipped here in Louisiana (I still have the receipt). I did call that dealer and questioned them on the glass, since the windshield rattled badly. Nobody could explain why the glass had "Shelby" on the windshield (believe I have pictures of this), since talking to different SPF experts and dealers said that this was the incorrect glass. Anyways, I left my phone number and email with several different dealers (even the Barry guy), so they could let me know when they found out which windshield my car needed, and when I could get it installed. Never heard from them again, and here it has been over 2 years since I had the Lexan installed. Also, as I said in my earlier post, the guy who installed the Lexan said it looked like the windshield was slightly bent, but the Lexan works good in this scenario since it can flex much more than glass. It seems if I ever want to replace the glass, my best bet is buy the windshield frame with the glass already installed.

Heck, I was considering a Brock Coupe to add to the garage, but not after the way SPF handled this windshield situation.

I am considering adding an M400 Noble to the garage, but still I am a bit leary now having to deal with these type of small, niche type auto companies. The cars are built in the same place, and there is a good chance the dealer network is just like that of SPF. This windshield situation has left a really bad taste in my mouth.
