Did you get the exact same type of OEM glass? I understand it's a lighter windshield than most...

 

that is untrue, US OEM glass is manufactured by only 3 companies. my neighbor replaces windshields by profession, ive had mine replaced three times. i only paid 150 installed. the only difference is mitsubishi stamps it, other than that aftermarket glass is IDENTICAL.

 

Does the evo have the US OEM glass or are they from japan too?

 

mprtklr is correct...

This glass looks exactly the same 100% with out the mitsu stamp!

 

got mine replaced too. i know the OEM glass does not have that strip of tint on the top. when i got mine replaced, i noticed that i now have that tint. did you guys get that too?

 

and if i remember correctly it isnt the windshield that is made from thinner glass it is the side windows.

 

Ok the windshield i got is exactly like the origional one! no strip of tint on the top!

 

Yea they are by far the best people and prices!!! I needed to replace the windshield on ym Galant before I gave it back to get my Evo do to the fact that it was a leased car and they beat everyones price by $100 or more

 

All glass looks the same and I'm sure it fits with no problem, but what about the weight? I don't feel like watcing the video again, but I am pretty sure the stock Evo glass is lighter than stock Lancer glass.

 

It is the same glass! Even the dealer looked it up for me and it was the same!

The side windows are thinner...
Dude they would not make the front glass thinner because it would break easier. They have to have it a certain thickness for safety.

I checked quite a few places and made them check for EVO glass. When they looked it all came up under Lancer. Everyone including the dealer said the Lancer and Evo glass is exact for the WINDSHIELD.

 

I had my rear window replaced...

The glass is lighter than and has a different part # than stock lancer glass. the glass is not US OEM, it had product of japan stamped on it. the glass alone cost like 400. If you dont care about having thinner glass, by all means get the regular lancer glass. let it be said that the evo glass is lighter, but also breaks pretty easily... mine broke from having a 10 yr old throwing a grape sized rock through it.

 

yes the rear is different but the front is the same... I looked up all the numbers and had the dealer look and the windsheild is the only one that is the same.

 

I even measured the thickness of the Origional one when it took it out compared to the new one he put in. He thought i was nuts but I said just making sure it is the same.

 

front windshields are mandated by DOT, all others are mandated by NHTSA. front windshields have a legal obligation to be a certain thickness and crash-shattering rating. they are identical among manufacturers of all cars sold in the US. (shaped differently of course) but identical as far as composition. sides and back, can be different.
