Default Glass question

I will be purchasing all new glass for my 65 Fast back Mustang, and was pricing it out. I found a company called Autocity glass on e-bay which charges $799.00 for ALL glass and free shipping. They have solid feedback and make their own glass. I know the old phrase you get what you pay for, but this price is very good in comparison to other companys. Has anyone bought from them? If so how was the quality? Any other company's anyone recomends for a ship to in Georgia?
Also I have not been able to find anywhere that sell the chrome trim that goes on the door window at the top. Anyone know where I can buy that?
Making progress!
Thanks.

I haven't dealt with them but that seems like a really good price. Laurel mountain mustang is about the same price but without the windshield and no free shipping. I need all new glass for my coupe. I'll probably try them out when I have the cash.

That little chrome piece is sold with the glass, at least what I've ever saw. I don't think you'll find that separately.

I think its stainless instead of chrome. It doesn't come with the new glass I think you have to reuse your old pieces.

I hope I do not have to reuse the window chrome piece because it was missing one from the start, and the other is not clean enough.
I have never seen them in a catalog though.

If you buy a replacement piece, it will come with it. At least make sure the one you decide to buy has it already on it. Like the one's from NPD or CJ Pony Parts already has the piece on the glass.

At $799 for the full set of glass I guarantee that the replacement glass will not have the frame with it and you would have to use the old pieces just as you would with the vent window. If you want the stainless pieces it will cost at least 2 to 3 times that price. Again the pieces are stainless so assuming they are not bent they will polish right up.

This is what you would get from Auto City for $119

This is what you would get from CJ's for $319.95
