Default RHD front windshield

My friend has a converted rhd dc5, and he cracked the windshield. Does anyone know where he can get a new windshield, under $1000.

Just thinking out loud so correct me if I am wrong. I thought on a RHD conversion you are only swapping the firewall and dash. Wouldn't you just reuse your stock windshield since its not part of the firewall?

Cracking windshields ftl. I cracked my eg's while trying to remove excess glue with a screwdriver so the trim sat flush. My OCD on the trim cracked my windshield. FML.

Good luck to your buddy.
