Default Heated FRONT screen

As part of the ongoing racecr build I was considering a retrofit electric heater matrix
However after chatting to my mate who races a cosworth escort he has suggested just fitting a heated front screen , I have seen them available for various rally applications.
Is anyone using one?
Any pitfalls?
I have seen them available here...

http://www.heatedwindscreen.com/acat...ndscreens.html

Does anyone know any other suppliers?

Got one on my mates MGZR rally car. Truly top bit of kit! Highly recommended indeed. Who makes them for Subaru then? I know they used to be Fords only.

Don`t forget you`ll have to factor in the fitting cost and where to get that done.

I have one in my rally car and no heater and it works great, just remember to turn it on a bit before you think you need it as they take a few minutes to work

I was after a Bronze one, but they only did clear, and I really only wanted bronze.

As for fitting if you accidentally break your screen and get a new one, when they turn up ask them to fit that instead
