Yes, I know it is possible. RPO Z06 did it to his 98 Vert.

An earlier post in the "for sale" section indicated that it has been done.
The instrument cluster had to be replaced with a unit from a 99+ ,
also the image was not that good until the windshield was replaced with the proper type.Seller made it sound like it was a "plug and play" setup , as long as money was not the issue, might as well go with the Z06 gauges. Hope You can verify this story as I would like the upgrade. :seeya

I too have heard that it can be done you just need the HUD IPC (instrument panel cluster), the HUD dash, and optionally the HUD windshield.

I don't know about the cost for the dash, controls and projector parts, but I did havea HUD windshield replaced because of a rock chip on my 2000 C5. The original estimate was $2500.00 installed which was dropped to $2000.00 after they negotiated with my insurance company. If you think that's heavy, my dealer told me they had submitted a claim themselves for a broken rear window on a C5 coupe that was delivered to them...$3800.00!:eek:
