Great job and congradulations....As most of us who have added HUD to our cars have previously said about the install, "not as difficult as we had thought." Enjoy---you'll love it..

I see your display is about where mine is on the windshield. I can't adjust it any higher without cutting off the top of the display. Have you had this issue?
When I saw how low I had to keep it I honestly felt luke warm at best about the HUD option. Not really that happy with it given the effort to install.

I have HUD in my grand prix and love it. I just put my vet up for sale this past week because I want one with HUD and chrome thin spoke instead of my WW's and no HUD.

Somehow, I had a little more meat around the screw holes when I did mine. <shrug>

I thought this was the best route. I didn't want to epoxy anything.
It wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated. Everything went along smoothly.

Wow, great job. That's a project I'd like to do but I need a new instrument panel and speedo as well since mine is a pre-hud '97. I just don't think I'll ever get to doing it.

I hope to install the HUD this weekend. I plan on securing the bezel to the dash pad with screws and washers in a similar fashion. How long of screws did you guys use? What is the purpose of the legs on the bezel that need to be cut? How is it secured in a factory installed unit?
I think I'll use double sided tape to hold down the front legs of the projector. I don't think it is going anywhere, especially since it is screwed down at the rear leg of the projector.
