Okay so i dug up a three year old thread about glass for the A31 cefiro here in perth, and everyone hailed instant windscreens as the champion in this area

instant windscreens gave me a quote for $320 supply + fit, of $340 supply + fit + call out.

YOU LITTLE RIPPER (i thought)

that was discussed and planned a week ago - to be installed tomorrow - as they had 5 in stock

just then i get a ph call saying they have ZERO in stock, and can possibly organise more to be made but it'll take a while.

i'm a bit pissed - naturally.

so i called windscreens o'brien.

windscreens o brien are set up ready to go with glass in stock. supply. fit. free call out. lifetime warranty on workmanship.

for the low low price of $590.

(naturally even THIS is too rich for my blood - as benevolent as i am with my car - i just cant justify a nearly $300 jump for the same product)

i have called wayne's windscreen's in welshpool (try saying that four timeS)

and the lovely girl there is in the process of getting back to me about this - as they MAY have some in stock.

can anybody else suggest something???

keep in mind

tried:

instant windscreens

windscreens obrien

wayne's windscreens.

whichever business gives best service and least stuffing around - wins my business.

PS: i had a chat to the guy in instant windscreens warehouse and told him there's a few of us around and it'd be in his interest to press some up (think of it as a group buy)

so any numbers?

update

instant windscreens have got back to me, there is 0 stock in WA.

however there are 3 stock items over east which can be delivered to WA and fit to my car

...for $690

instant windscreens. $690.

windscreens obrien. $590.

wayne's windscreens better pull through or i'm gonna be a very sad panda.

Try O'Briens again...theyre actually $350 fitted, Jason tried twice, he had the same deal as you.

$590 first time, rang back, asked someone else, $350 fitted. And they always keep on in stock in WA at any one time.

Go with Wayne's Windshields if possible...blondie at reception is quiet nice indeed. Work on the opposite side of the intersection to them and have used them a few times with company vehicles.

weird i thought i already replied to this..

yeahhhh i think i'll be sticking with waynes windscreens for now - the receptionist there was a great help once when i was DEPERATELY trying to find a place i was sent out to work... very nice girl to deal with.

(greatrack)

(kidding)

but seriously i'll stick with them before bothering obriens again, they have (yet) to so far stuff me around!

okay so another update - so far it looks like i'm getting the glass supplied by obreins for $220

and getting it fitted else where.

obrien quote 590 for supplied fitted callout. not negotiable not haggle.

but they'll supply the glass for $220.

soooooooooo that means $370 for an hours labour

fuuuuuckkkk that???

so looks like i'll be trying wayne's windscreens.

the weird thing is - as much as this sounds like heaps of fun

this is ACTUALLY a massive pain in the ass

or eat a dick.

they will not repeat WILL NOT BUDGE on my $590 quote.

the best they can do is supply for $220. and then the best quote i can get is a $170 FIT from instant windscreens,

wayne's are quoting $220 fitment =|

mind you - while i'm being REAMED for quotes by these guys who are simply too stubborn to compromise for me... here's the funny part

IM DOING HALF THEIR FKN JOB FOR THEM. THEY AREN'T THE ONES WHO'VE HAD TO SOURCE THE FKN PART. THEY AREN'T NEEDING A CALL OUT. THEY AREN'T NEEDING TO ORGANISE FREIGHT. IM FKN DOING THAT SHIT FOR THEM. YET THEY STILL THINK GLUE AND AN HOURS LABOUR IS WORTH $220 WTF!!!!

what are novus windscreens callout fee? i don't see how it costs that much either for the glue and shit. NIC A31: my price was for a 4 door 32, tinted with the aerial inside the glass annnndddd freighted from melbourne.

are there any mobile peoples in the yellow pages that can install it??

hah! try finding a laurel windscreen , you DON'T wanna know what i paid for mine!!!!!!

Do tell, I have to buy 2 for both of myne. Dont worry the misso has a difibrilator on hand in case a have a coronary haha.

    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP. 
    • People are going faster on CRS than AR1, so there's that 😕
    • Go the CRS, cheaper than the A052 and same if not better 1 lap performance when suspension is dialled for it. If wanting to do back to back laps the A052 and can cool off and go again next lap will be the better option. I have gone quicker over 1 lap with CRS than the A050 I came from but may be due to getting more seat time. I am driving CRS on the street lately in different conditions and its going well, a lot better than AR1 in the wet. AR1 is a race tyre, CRS is a Hill Climb/time attack/Sprint tyre. 2 different things, a slick is on the way too. The mighty gay mods choice of tyre is proper rubbish for those that actually drive on track not park at bunnings at night.
    • Seems to be a common issue, I had a look at two used tanks and both had similar cracks to mine. No one that does plastic welding near me seems to want to do it to a fuel tank lol
