I have heard good things and seen VERY GOOD if not NEAR perfect reproductions from ECS, on some difficult items. they makes some second gen F engine labels which are correct not only on the printing type fonts etc but also the PROCESS being reverse printed on the back of a clear base stock -

Obviously they are getting glass from someone and I would guess doing THEIR own logos as those are some of the nicest I have seen.

Well I dropped the hammer & ordered a w/s from ECS Automotive. It was 350.00 plus 170.00 shipping.
I talked to Pilkington today & they said they are no longer dealing with the general public nor are they date coding any glass. Although it wasn't said directly, it almost sounded like they lost their license with LOF/GM. We talked for a while & he said he can still sell the glass but no more date coding. What's the point?
ECS will do what you need. They are licensed by the big 3.
Sorry to confirm the bad news....Joe

I got my w/s from ECS today. They did a nice job of the LOF & date. Windshield measured about .200 thick. Had another w/s in the shop, not LOF, & it measured .270 thick. The ECS w/s is definitely off shore, Singapore....Joe
