The rule of thumb according to Safelite glass repair- if a dollar bill will cover the crack they can usually keep it from spreading.
Combined crack and other damage- not likely
look for a private replacement shop in the phone book- guessing around $350 installed as was the gen2s windshield

My 3G Windshield ran me about $500. It sucked.

It'll probably continue to spread. If it gets directly in front of your face might be a ticket as well. About $300 to replace, insurance may cover, some do. Get it replaced.

it will probably worsen with the stress put on it with the car. Be sure to get an ACURA one only, because the acura one contain pockets filled with gas to reduce road noise, as well its a guarenteed fit and will not give dealers any reason to void a warranty on the car, such as the wiper system.
