Hi Damon,

I recently purchased a windshield locally and installed it myself.  I am
in California.  I paid $92 USD including tax for a PPG windshield.  It
looks great and had a PPG sticker on it.  Do not buy a Safelite
windshield.  The guy selling me the PPG glass said that his price on the
Safelite was only $19!  I have heard complaints of the optical quality
also.

I hope this gives you an idea on price.
