I went through insurance for mine - i had to pay excess £100.
This was about 3 years ago - it was autoglass that did mine - if i remember right the windscreen was about £120 and the trim was nearly the same amount so around the £200-£250 so similar to Vtecmec.
The insurance company tried to tell me it would be about £700 for bronze tint but when i spoke to the fitter he said that was rubbish and you could get bronze for same price :?
Hope this helps :)

What chip? MPH converter or a JDM P13 ECU chip?


Ideally you want to have a chipped JDM P13 ECU as that removes the speed limiter and still allows VTEC in 1st, and a set of UK dials so it reads in MPH ;)

I had a screen replaced, they couldn't get the trim surround and didn't bother getting enough clips - moral of the story, F*CK AUTOGLASS!

..I also have a JDM Prelude in my garage with a bronze screen. But it's in Cornwall. And it's old. And no, I won't risk posting it. It's yours if you want it though ;)
