Default HUD installed
Put in my HUD over the weekend. It took 3 1/2 hours. I spent about an hour making my own wiring harness. It requires a 11 pin harness but all I could find was an 8 pin from my local tv repair shop. So I did some cutting & soldering to add the rest of the pins. Here is a site I made up with some of the pics. http://members.***.net/corvette/hud.htm

Wow...impressive to say the least

Lucky for me I already have it. HUD is a must! I don't think I can ever drive another car without it
