Surprisingly quite a few have done it and it's not that outrageous in
terms of price...probably the worst of it, is actually cutting into your
dash.

I'm sure a few will chime in.

I can supply you all of the parts, and even install it if you like...parts $599. Install in Greenville, SC for $99 extra.

You'll need the new odometer programmed to match your old one, which I can do for an additional $150. I can give a credit of $150 for the return of your old gauge cluster if you'd like.

I put HUD in my 04 coupe. Not too difficult. Cutting the hole in the dash was the most time consuming part. Parts for me were less than $300. I think you need to buy a HUD enabled instrument cluster for your car though. I don't know what they cost.

Same here. If your not mechanically inclined however and can get to where Josh (PaceThis) is, he can fix you up.

rbcox,

Not trying to stick my nose in but if you do decide to get Josh to install the hud. My shop is about 2 hours north of where he lives. Since you're driving from Va., you may want to ask him if he doesn't mind driving to Charlotte. Josh is extremely helpful and it'll save you at least an add'l 2 hours drive. You and him are more than welcome to use my shop.

(besides, if he comes to do yours, I'll probably have him do mine at the same time...)

Mark

Yes, I could probably work this out...I've already promised Mark that I'd come up that way to do his...

Hey Josh,

Do you ever get up to the DC area? Come visit the Nations Capital, take in the sites, install HUD in my 98 vert. Sounds like a great trip to me. If you play golf, we can play my club.

Let me know.
