Post Stone chip in windshield - effect tech inspection?

OK, so I am driving down the freeway about 1/4 mile before my exit and BAMM. Big rock chip just left of my line of sight in the windshield. Insurance is paying for repair not windshield. Repair looks like crap (although better). No cracks just a round chip just smaller than a quarter.

Even the repair guy said it is going to look like crap.

So, my real Q is: Will this effect my DE event or autocross tech inspection?

There is no cracks, the repair is guaranteed to have no cracking.

But of course, it does mess with my eyes when driving at night.

I am looking to get this replaced- eventually(I changed my deductible to $250). New windshield from dealer is $788, this is with antenna/tint windshield, installation is 2.5 - 3.0 hrs @ $90. I have found aftermarket glass for $500 installed, but I went that route last time and it looks like crap (many visible flaws).

TIA
