So I'm driving up 95 outside of Boston yesterday, and I hear a lod "POP!" Yes, I took a rock to the windshield. Now, my current windshield, while not original, is pitted and nasty, and the trim wasn't well installed. Also, I've been trying to black out all of my chrome, so this is such an opportunity that when I saw the bullseye, I let out a yell like a little schoolgirl. Of course, this is because the insurance will take care of the whole thing (I know, it's just saying I paid for it in advance).

Anyway, I'm mining for advice, now. Is there anything I should know about having a 240 windshield replaced? It's already been suggested that I get a '92 windshield and trim, as the areodynamics are better (plus the trim is black). Any other suggestions?
