HUD can be done to any C5! It just depends on what year, as some years did not come with the HUD capability cluster. If that was the case, you would need to buy a HUD supporting cluster and have the mileage programmed to what your existing mileage is now. You would also need a few more parts, but it can be done. Check on the parts for sale section and look for forum member PaceThis as he has the programmer for programming your cluster if you need to get a different cluster for the HUD. He could tell you all the part you would need. If I'm wrong he will correct me,lol!

Can be done. There have been a few forum members here that have made the change to their cars. The HUD first came out in '99, so if you get an earlier model, the cluster will have to be changed also. Its a very nice option to have in my opinion.

I would look at a conversion that has been done first in the day light. The cars that came from GM with the HUD have a different windshield than the ones that did not come with it (special coating of some kind to justify a stupidly expensive windshield). Not sure how much diff it really makes.
