I have noone to blame but myself. I was checking fluids with my uncle and when I closed the hood, I forgot the pins where in my pocket. I got about 5 miles before it happened.

09-26-2010
Hood is actually still in good shape. the windshield is 185.00 installed
09-26-2010
WOOW.. that is amazing.. bet your sh*t your pants when that happened. Hope you were able to pull over safely!!
09-26-2010
Tommy Boy FTW! Glad you are okay though.
09-26-2010
LOL, tommy boy for sure. Scared the **** out of the old people in the Blue Grand Prix right next to me also. I m sure glad there was noone in front of me that stopped. The bad thing is, My 10 yr old and 1 yr old baby where in the back seat. If I was on the freeway, I would have had a major prob. I got over safly though, thanks for the concern. I have the window guy comin out tomorrow though. and I might have a Warhawk hood for sale soon. LOL.

Wow that sucks. Same thing happened to a friend of mine and me in his M3 BMW track car when we took it down the road for a test drive. He forgot the hood pins too. Scared the crap out of me. $185 installed is not too bad for a windshield.
09-26-2010
holy hell man, i hope you didnt get little pieces of glass in the car, look like the hood held up ok tho
09-26-2010
Yeah alot of glass shards in the car all over the seats.
09-26-2010
MAn that sucks, good thing everyone is ok.
fiberglass hood...1, Glass windshield...0
09-26-2010
Exactly. Hood is fine, minor crack in pass corner and scratches but the windshield did its job and well I might add.
09-26-2010
Dude that blows.. Luckily all is well! Don't worry about the windshield or hood.. it's good that you're safe and you're kids!
I wanna ask you a question:
I noticed you have HUD just like me. I have a crack in my windshield and was told it's gonna cost a lot to replace it cause it needs a special type of glass for the HUD to show up in it.. Did they tell you anything like that? Or is it just a normal type of windshield?
09-27-2010
im pretty sure its normal glass then a film in the place where the hud shows
09-27-2010
Nope, the glass company only tells you that to get more money, it is normal glass. Dont let them fool you man. Safelite quoted me 320.00 installed cause of the HUD. The guy doin it said it is just plain windshield glass
09-27-2010
its got to be the same, otherwise there would be no point in us GT folk cuttin our dash up to add hud if we couldnt see it. haha
09-27-2010
My GT came with a HUD... its a option.
And it WILL be clearer with the proper windshield.

According to this: Ontario Quebec Club Grand Prix • View topic - changed windsheild and HUD looks different now
The difference in cost is $200 or to $800 or whatever for the HUD.
Ian (ENT) posted the procedure...
they basically do tests on each window produced and those that are crisp clear and smooth (microscopically...or something genreally alone those lines). are passed for HUD use, whileothers aren't.
09-27-2010
Meh, HUD looks the same in my SE as it does in my GTP. Like stated above, don't be fooled
09-27-2010
Actually with the HUD optioned cars from the factory....the windshields do have a slightly darker area where the HUD shines. Its not noticeable unless you are looking for it. The cool thing for my windshield, I can have the one for the HUD display installed for 185 and by the way thats a brand new windshield. Its good to know the right people haha
