You don't want to "side job" a windshield. Get it done at a glass place, with a receipt, with a warranty, and installed by them. A defective windshield (one with a chip along the edge you didn't see) will crack in short order once you hit a bump. Then what happens?

Ask me how I know this. BTDT 3x.

With that said, it's unlikely you will notice a difference between brands of glass on that car. Nothing special about the OEM glass. Some claim OEM is "harder" but, whatever.

You can buy several windshields from Safelite for the price of an OEM piece.

PS never had an issue with Safelite, from my 911 to my BMW's all were just fine. It's the installer who needs the experience. It's gonna be hit or miss anywhere you go.
