Windshield protection film is the best thing you can get done. I’ve just had mine done. Have had all my cars done.
Very minimal distortion. You will not notice it
Just to reiterate. If you go on drives following others in the group you are guaranteed to get a lot of little stone thrown at your car. These will 100% hit your windshield, may not break it but it’s a problemThis. People overlook windshield protection and care when detailing. I have the lightest possible ceramic tint on the inside (70% xpel xr plus IIRC) and I polish my windshield yearly and apply Gyeons Q2 View ceramic coating. It makes a huge difference. I plan to eventually get the ppf like film on the outside glass whenever I get around to redoing the factory Lotus ppf on my GT.

Seems like the wipers would score it slightly given the accumulation of road grime and light dust/dirt from time to time. Let us know what happens!I just had the windshield film installed yesterday on mine. Stek Dynoflex. It cost $500 and supposedly only has a 1% distortion. It comes with a 2 year warranty. I decided to try it out as I want to limit my odds of having to replace a windshield on the Emira anytime soon. I can't really even tell it's there so that's good. They said I was a good candidate since the vehicle is garaged and a third vehicle not daily driven. Rock chips are notorious in AZ.
Sorry to hear......A rock hit my Emira windshield on interstate 2500 miles driven. Fully anticipated this would happen at some point, due to the low profile nose.For the first time, after 24 years of driving, and only 1 week with my Emira (and 800 miles), a very mean and nasty rock collided with my front windshield. She's at Lotus of Orlando right now and well.... it seems that I might be the first one in the US to have their windshield replaced. Yay .... trophy for me. I dropped her off on Tuesday and they have not yet provided me a quote. Apparently, they are "still working on figuring this out" with Lotus.
The only thing keeping me at peace is knowing that I only have 200 more miles to break her in whenever she comes back =D
