I can't take any credit. Using new parts and well documented instructions; it wasn't all that difficult.

I did stretch it over 2 days though. Not my daily driver anyways... and why rush through it ?

I love it when people call you "Mike", almost like they lived next door.

Please, no offense to anyone, just funny to those of us who know!

Very nice. I helped a friend install one last fall and he purchased the wiring harness from Josh. To all those out there who want a HUD...Do not be afraid, it is not that difficult to install.

A lot of people feel like that. He is always there when you need advice or opinions, even if you don’t like them. So it kind of makes you feel like you know him personally.
