agreed ! definitely call around and back and play them against each other.
mine was 120 installed in my driveway after I cracked the one I got from
Chris Jordan trying to install it. However, mentioned earlier (read many
years ago) on the list - it is actually better to take it to the shop for
replacement because the experienced guys stay in the shop and the "kids" run
around town in the van to do installs.

my 2 cents, worth what you paid for it...

I think I paid ~$130.  The places I called around to had either a blue
tinted one or a green tinted one.  I believe the green one was much cheaper
than the blue, or vice versa.  Local glass companies will always try to
beat the other places prices, too.  So bargaining is always useful.
