Total bill for the OEM windshield replacement is as follows:
Tax @ 8.25%-$104.39
Total-$1,769.74
The work is to be done at a Lexus dealer and the recalibration at the Toyota dealer next door. Normal recalibration fee according to book rate is $450 at the Lexus dealer, the Toyota dealer is doing it for $150. I have a total of $100 out of pocket after insurance, I can live with that so long as everything looks as it did prior to the incident.

Holy crap. I think it's about $250 to replace the windshield in my truck. Crazy. Is that typical pricing with Toyota's with lane departure? (with any model, not just LC's)

Why not just go aftermarket? Just curious.

who do you have for insurance? Liberty Mutual just rejected my request for OEM glass.

Wow, that's a bummer, I guess their commercials are just flash in the pan. We have Germania and USAA and I've always demanded OEM glass without issue.
I would consider RedArc a bit on the pricey side, but I feel like this is literally the only one that allows such a clean install so very easy to justify the cost. Most, non-factory, brake controllers are big and ugly and you have to put them in reach so they are hard to hide.
Did you get the factory controller on the Ram?

Agreed! After the switch blank and even with purchasing the brake controller itself at a nice discount, it still came out to $230 in total. But it is undoubtedly the cleanest and most subtle install out there and I am always amazed at the quality of their products, top rate stuff for sure. The RAM has the factory brake controller, I wouldn't have one without it.
Could you share which RAM parts you used for the ball, mine is not as compact as yours, and did you use a rivnut?I couldn't handle the phone being in the charging tray any longer and on longer trips I need it visible for NAV/GPS. I went back to the tried and true Ram ball and phone cradle off of the grab handle.
thanks in advance
