I was able to find a small specialist shop that did mine for $400 flat. Not OEM but Pilkinton. I did not have him do the calibration, he said you don't need it if the install is done correctly. I have had zero issues since.
The aftermarket glass may work well - but I can tell you with great confidence that the OEM glass is much less likely to deviate from what came in your new Subaru.
Replaced with my current glass which is Pilkington and it's been like 7 months without chips or cracks, which is the longest I've had an immaculate windshield in the entire time I've owned the car.
If it's Fuyao or Pilkington they are all pretty great, same as OEM if not better.
Just had mine replaced in my 2019. Used Pilkington as well and I can’t tell the difference from the OEM glass.
I have had pilkington glass before and they are a decent piece of glass, but not nearly as strong a Sekurit.
I just think their windshield is shit.
My outback right now is cracked.
I had a rock thrown and couldn't see where it hit because it was right under a wiper blade. Next morning after sun hit it, the fucking crack was 2' long in every direction. Didn't even have a chance to get a repair... Place that replaced it, couldn't get the eyesight to calibrate, so had no cruise control for a month as they waited for an OEM to replace the replacement. Dropped it for replacement and 4 hours later they said, we got it to calibrate, no need to replace. three months later, another rock and shattered. They seem fragile as fuck.
There are ongoing known issues with Forester windshields being extremely fragile. Unfortunately, they’re also very expensive to replace because the Eyesight has to be recalibrated.
