cracked front windshield

So..something small hit my front windshield near the registration sticker on my way to lunch, and as I walked back to my car, I noticed a 6 in crack already developed.

I know that there are guys that come to you to replace windshields out there, but since this is the first time that I got hit in 10 years, whats a reasonable price I should expect? $150-200?

Second, how to I deal with the registration and inspection sticker? Do I have to get those again since I assume that the whole windshield is going to have to be replaced?

I used Glass Doctor for myG35. It was more than $250 and comes with a 12 month warranty. If your WS gets cracked or broken within the 1 year, you pay for the $56 (from what I remember) labor and you get a new windshield. They use quality PPG glass and come to your location. The registration and tags are taken off with a heater and put on the new glass.
