[V8] Windshield replacement, K&N Filter...

[allanvega at adelphia.net]

If your not using the factory glass antenna(they dont work well with aftermarket stereos.....evan blaupunkts)Order one for a 5000(about $200) you will need to clear some of the black paint at the bottom to expose the vin (vin# window is located in a differant spot than the v8q, otherwise direct swap and hell of alot cheaper.

> SafeLite replaced my windshield fairly competently about a year ago.  Only beef was they left out a wiper arm grommet.  They charged a bit more than $600.  It had the antenna in it, though my car also has the power antenna in the rear fender.  Not sure if both are hooked up.
