well the wait for a windshield is killin me, so im wondering. those of you who have had the regular lancer windshield installed, how is it?

 

I'm not sure if mine was replaced with a Lancer windshield. The dot matrix by the mirror is different and the mirror seems like it's mounted higher, but there was no problem mounting the mirror to the windshield and I've read here that the clip on the windshield is different.

With that said, I have no problem with it.

 

well i was told you have to put the lancer rearview mirror in cause the evo one wont fit. other than the mirror not being as fancy im just wondering if theres been issues with doin this

 

i have the lancer w/s fits like evo w/s and there is no difference other the the rear veiw. it is like a half inch lower then the evo. still tho i never notice it.

 

Yeah I have one too and there are no issues, my glass company ended up buying me a Lancer mirror so I can't complain.

 

well i guess ill have mine in tomorrow and my rearview mirror on monday. whats the diff. between the two mirrors? is there any?

 

No you don't.

I wouldn't even buy the evo windshield if it was in stock and cheaper. The regular lancer windshield has an extra sun visor (dot matrix?) above the rear-view, and it is stronger and can withstand way more of a punishment if you drive on the highway. I went through 2 evo windshields in 1 winter, and now had this on since and no cracks and barly any rock pits, keep in mind i'm in NH/MASS where they put down rocks instead of salt () and drive over 100 miles a day on the highway.

 

That certainly sounds like the windshield I had put in. I never thought about it, but yeah, the larger dot matrix by the mirror must be on there to block the sun out.

And my Evo mirror went right in place with no problem. I watched the installation.

BTW, someone asked the price. The windshield was $267 and the total bill was $455.
