Who has bought from one day glass?

I'm ready to order glass for my cab and I would like to know how accurate I need to be and what color I should be getting (solar gray or dark gray).
For instance I measured a width of 28.5 which leaves roughly a 1/16 gap, is that enough of a gap or too much if I plan on getting a seamed edge (not rounded)?

Safety glass. I wish I had thought to specify that mine was safety glass. Also, don't be afraid to get something a bit darker than you might first think. A bright monitor will shine through, and the dark glass will hide what you don't want seen.

Also, I highly highly highly recommend that you make a template out of MDF and bring it to your local glass shop (don't just order the glass over the phone). Things aren't always perfect when you take measurements - the template will ensure the glass fits perfectly.

Gray smoked. The shop I went to had a few samples to choose from and I just picked the gray one. It looks great.

I ordered from them. Solar grey tempered. It really makes the colors "pop", contrast is better, etc. I didn't have to adjust the brightness or contrast of the monitor either. Highly recomended

So a leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, says, "Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back."
