$250 plus or minus a bit.

$260 provided it doesn't need moulds. If it does, go genuine Nissan. They'll look 100% despite costing a lot more than an aftermarket one.

And the mould comes in 2 pieces, so the cost is greater.

And if you really care about this car, be prepared to find a little rust. Make sure you let the fitters know to tell you if they find surface rust as this would be the time to tackle it.

i haaaaaaaaate ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust

they should made car shells out of stainless steel

Yeah they tried that. It was called the DMC Delorean. And it sucked balls. However it did feature an optional flux capacitor to enable time travel, which was perfect for all those customers wanting to go back and warn themselves not to buy a Delorian.

WOW! I may have to amend this post slighty, going genuine Nissan windscreen moulds is an expensive exercise! I asked for pricing so that I can change mine when I get my respray, and it's scary.

The lower piece is about 10 feet of thin plastic with double sided tape on the back to secure it to the body. $236. Holy crap.

The top piece is about 10 feet of plastic that clips into the lower piece to cover the edge of the glass. $127. Holy crap.

Lower piece for the rear glass. $171

Upper piece for the rear glass. $127

So genuine Nissan will set me back roughly $660 compared to an aftermarket universal rubber moulding which will cost me nothing, but average joe around $35. Hmmmmm.....
