I can't believe I didn't do it sooner!! I love this thing. The instructions in the tech area were right on. I can't wait to go to the track and see if this will help improve my shifts.

Congrats.....You'll love it. I installed a HUD about 2 years in my '98. Wish I hadn't waited sooo long to install it. Good luck.

Thankfully my 99 came with one in it from the factory. At first it kindof annoyed me but after I got used to it i really liked it.

I installed mine as well. Once you get over turning that first screw, you're home free. Excellent enhancement.

Awesome mod and glad you like it.

Mine came with HUD but I use it all the time. Really miss it when I'm driving the other cars.

I had one in my 2003 Z06 and then sold it to pick up my 2001 Z06. The 2001 did not have the HUD and I found myself constantly looking in the windshield for my speed and tach. Went 6 months without it and I just installed one and I now remember how much I missed the HUD. Great mod if you do not have one.

I have always wanted to do this but don't know if I have the ability. I am somewhat mechanical but this looks complicated.

I custom ordered a new Bonneville back in 1992 with a HUD. I won't own another car without it. A HUD was a requirement for my C5's.


Wish I could get one for my C3. Well, O.K., maybe not.


Congrats on your install and enjoy...
