i talked to ben at one piece products today. he said he knows the front glass fits it goes on body. that he has alot of people thinking it does not fit. but they dont have a manual or you tube video. only for the rear. and alot of glass installers dont think outside the box. he sent me a bunch of pics to see what it looks like. showed them to glass guy he still doesnt like it and doesnt think its safe in a accident. wont do what a windshield is designed to do in a accident. that its more for just show. which i had hard time even finding someone to even try to put on aftermarket glass. so anyways not going to mess with it. so going with the stock glass. i called ben back and he said i could return it was real cool about it. so there flush mount windshield is probally fine just there fault for not having instructions or video yet. so glass installers dont want to mess with it or want the liabilty. do love the rear flush mount glass though.

Truck was picked up from body shop yesterday and taken to get Ls swap finished.

I boxed up the flush mount front windshield today to ship back. Ups was 294.00 and fed ex was 316.00. So guess I'm going to try and sell it. I'll probably be out 534.00 I spent on it. Sucks

Ordered the Dakota digital rear view mirror with compass and temperature. The mm1 model see how that turns out saw all good reviews. So I'll keep progress on Ls swap once it gets rolling again.

Gentex Corporation makes all the mirrors for most of the OEMs.  You could simply go to the wrecking yard and pull one along with the temp sender for the mirror.  The mirrors are self calibrating and have the compass part built into the mirror head.

You can also buy the Gentex Mirrors from the Mito Corporation: http://mito-auto.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=1
