This is what I was going to mention. Every state I've ever lived in does an inspection the first time you register, and if you don't have a DOT windshield you'll have to get one. I guess it would be "buyer beware" if you end up with one that has one of these in a state that cares...

Note that Billboard/Blue Dot tires are also not street legal.

The Cobra Valley unit has been installed on my spf for quite a few miles and is quite scratch free...

We were really impressed when something heavy hit it HARD, end left but a small nick...i know that hit would have taken out glass...

We probably have 20k miles driven with the screen.

My SPF was done is 2002. I've had it since 2003 with about 55k miles. I now have my fourth and last stock SPF windshield broke. I've had rock hits each time except this last crack that magically appeared from the center bottom up????
I will also be installing the Cobra Valley windshield. It's my understanding since it is lighter, you need to glue it in, not use the gasket?
