Re: E30 Windshields

[Chris Baisley <cbaisley@xxxxxxxx>]

I had the same problem with aftermarket windshields for my Acura - the 
aftermarket parts had a much wider and darker band across the top, which 
was of concern both with regard to looks and to the fact that I'm 6'4" and 
have to look through the very top of the windshield.  After much searching, 
a glass place found me a windshield without the band - it was still 
slightly tinted everywhere like the stock one.

On my E30, the aftermarket glass I had installed last year is not 
distinguishable from the original windshield - so you should be able to 
find a stock-looking one.
