DIY forum in the Chassis, Suspension, Brakes, Front end. It is on the second line.

I would drag a link over here but I'm not that bright.

I don't remember seeing a thread on this, but I had my windshield cut by a guy who worked on plexiglass for about $35. You may want to just call around in your area. Sorry I can't be of more help.

instead of cutting, check ebay, there is a couple of vendors that sell a wide variety for under 30.00.

I picked one up on eBay from FAST AIRE for about $28.00. This way, you can save your stock windshield in case you need it at a later date. They put out a quality product, with easy to follow (if needed) instructions.
