Default 996 front windshield

Looking to replace a cracked windshield in an 04 Cup car. Trying to get it from the local glass co is not working well. I had no clue 996's had so many size windshields. Anyone know the model and year that fits the cup cars. The GT3 from that year shows dealer order only.

Thanks

Safelite has chinese cheapo windshields for the car just tell them you want the cheapest windshield for an 04 911 coupe should be around 350 +/-. If you have a good independent he can get them too

Ahhh, the hood pin club, it caused me a new roof, and a fancy new paint job, not to mention a radio to ask my pit support ( wife) , uhhhh, are those pins in? check! Thanks!
Famous quote from a cup owner to me on the day I bought my car still stands true," the cost of the car is the least amount of money you will spend owning one of these " !!!!!!
Cheap glass, and a NASCAR tear off, stilll won't keep it safe from cracks/chips ...loose hood pins .

We need to invent an electronic sensor that is incorporated in the hood pin with a big red light on the dash. We have all seen how serious the damage can be

Bob - amen to that. I have installed the release mechanism on my car and am sourcing the hood catch. Hope to have this installed before COTA! I don't need to be in the three-timers club!
