Adding HUD??
I am looking at several Vettes right now, and I really like the HUD. But, some that are a good price do not have the option. Does anyone know what it would cost to add HUD?

Josh installed HUD on my '98 a few weeks ago and I love it. I wanted it when I was looking for a C5 but it wasn't a deal breaker.
The fact I was able to add it so inexpensively later was fantastic.

Josh ( Pacethis ) also installed mine, and did a fantastic job! He's got all the parts you would need for a complete HUD install.

Depending on your parts sources and abililities, you can put one in yourself for about $475 to $600 range. I did mine a few months ago. It's a bit tedious but not that difficult. At least I didn't think so. Assuming your IPC is "HUD ready", you will need a projector, 11pin cable (not available as a seperate item from Chev), dash bezel and switch assembly. You may be able to get the 11 pin cable from Josh or others. Without it you can't complete the install. HTH

Gathering all that I need to do mine as well. Got the projector, bezel, switch assy from Fred Beans for under $300 shipped. Hooking up with PaceThis for the 11 pin harness. Will do install in a few weeks time.

Its really not that expensive to add the HUD - just have to find a good source for the parts. Fichtner Chevy or Fred Beans Pontiac are good sources, as is the Karshop.
