Reasonable price, I paid $220 to get mine done on an Audi Avant. That place isn't in business anymore. Make sure to go to a place that will warranty the work, I had to take mine back and get three windows redone because of bubbles.

Didn't realize they were being sold yet, had a normal plate, not an M plate or D plate or anything.Sort of an interesting concept, reminds me more of a Matrix (square back window) with sliding doors. The tail lights on it are awful looking though. Didn't get to see the front.
