My wife is with you on this. She would LOVE to have Paul Newman installed in her Grand Prix!

HUD is pretty cool, I've driven a C5 with it.

It will probably be quite expensive. You have to get a special windshield . The windshield alone will cost you 2000.00 installed.

I think the kit includes a piece of "tint" to make it projected.

I got one from a buddy that came out of some other GM car. It came with all the wires hanging out of it along with a complete diagram of what all the wires need to be hooked up to.

Only problem is, theres not really any room to mount it in the early C4 dash without it sticking up some

I might see if I can mod it to fit my tiburon somehow. That would be pimp!

you don't need a $2k windscreen.

All you need is a piece of tint to allow the info to bounce off.

I got enough crap reflecting in my windshield without adding a bunch of numbers........

I occaisonally drive a friend's C5 with HUD...I always turn it off.
She likes it, but I feel that it's a non-functional gimmick.

I had HUD in my 92 Bonneville SSEi and I have it in my 03 SSEi, I really like it, I never have to take my eyes off the road to know what's going on. Gimmick? Maybe, but I find it useful. As far as the special windshield....I replaced one in the 92 with a "regular" one and it worked just fine.

Thats correct. If you ever had to replace a windshield on a C5 or C6 with HUD its gonna cost 2k. But like Mr. bogus said all you need is probably a 6''by 6'' piece of tint where the info is projected if you want to add a HUD to a vehicle.
