Also, Safelite insisted that only colored "blue" top-rimmed windshields exist for the NA Miata. I'm tall, and that blue is not going to work for me. I had safelite replace the windshield in my previous Miata a few years ago, and they were able to bring a clear one. What gives? Also, they want to charge me $300 for the install.

Anyone know a good place to get a clear windscreen installed in a Miata in Los Angeles? Preferably for under $300?

Given how little it rains here, I should just go without the windscreen and wear some goggles. Weight savings, bro.



EDIT- Found a place 15 minutes away that'll do it tomorrow (wow!) for 140+tax. Fingers crossed that they'll do good enough work.

Going without a windshield is a Jeep thing :p

But really, what's wrong with blue? Why is it THAT bad?

The top of my windshield is brown

I'm tall (6'1''), and I had a blue tinted one in my last NA. Essentially, 90% of what I could see ahead of me was tinted blue. I could see the hood and the road 5' in front of the car through the clear section.
