From what I've heard, repair is an elegant solution, because they can vacuum some of the air out and make it still present but much less noticeable.

Choice is yours, though. Plan on catching any rocks in the next 3 years? If so, wouldn't you still have to pay this amount to fix/replace it then?
Well, I think my INS co. will allow 1 repair WITHOUT any money every 3 year. So, I didn't want to use that ticket for something this small. Who knows, 6 months from now, SUN may get angry at me and throw a brick at my windshield!!! I can use it then, right? But seriously I'm saving it for something severe.

I don't know man. The ones from Safelite is def cheaper but I wouldn't feel comfortable putting aftermarket windshield in. They probably use the same quality windshield for Chevy Cavalier and 370z! Nissan OEM is $582

I think I'm following your advice. I have an appt set up for Thursday morning. I'm gonna repair it. I'll def post pics here. If I don't like the way it looks, I'll just replace it. Maybe wait a month or so because I may have to go to NY again

My insurance company said it would be cheaper to not claim it and pay out of pocket. I ended up getting a new windshield for $420 and they came to me, at work Safe Light Auto Glass
I know! As soon as it happen, you're the first name came to head! How do you like the safelite windshield? I am nervous about putting NON OEM windshield in the Z. They probably use the same windshield for cheap domestic cars and 370Z! The one from the Nissan dealer is $582.
