I have a ECS Vendor etching a Front Window on order provided by AutoCity Glass I think.
I took a Photo of my "other" 68 that was on the Line at Los the same or next week for reference of Logo desired.
Fingers crossed on quality and performance.

I bought a w/s glass for the 69 Camaro from ECS. It seems to be a good glass (not wavey). It had to be set differently since it's off shore & thinner.
I did lose points at MCACN for scratches in my original glass which I gladly accepted. I'd rather keep what's still original to the car....Joe

I've read that the curvature or repro side glass is not correct. May want to get a report on the most recent glass. I have a pile of original window glass that I just can't seem to throw out. Sick of looking at it.
There are places that will buff some imperfections successfully but you're going to burp for it.

Agree, side window glass that I have seen is terrible. Our 68 has the original side window glass in and it was easy to adjust. Our 69 has repro side glass and what a pain. Similar to what Joe did, use your orginal if anyway possiible IMHO.

Are you having the "Astro Ventilation" script done?? ESC advertise using a white ceramic paint like original. I would be interested to see how it would turn out

I have received my ECS (Auto City Glass) with Logo and my painters installed it successfully without complaint.
Logo sample I provided and it looks like they did a very nice job replicating it.
