The kits I have on eBay are complete with everything you'll need, including color directions (and a DVD with buy it now purchases).

I'm now back in school full time (nearly 10 years since I rec'd my bach. degree) in pursuit of a medical degree. These kits are one of the few sources of additional income that I receive to help support my family while I'm in school.

You can put together a HUD setup for less than my kits, but the savings would be minimal and you'd have potentially many more headaches.

I would recommend Josh (PaceThis). The kit comes with great directions, and he is a phone call away if you need help. Great product, and a great supplier.

Don't worry, my 01 didn't come with HUD either, but I added it without any hitches. Found the parts on ebay separately for about $250 including the 11 pin harness(the hardest part to find). If you're semi-mechanically inclined, you can do this also, your car is already set up for this. And yes, you DO NOT need a HUD windshield to accomplish this! Some people will may make alot of $$ (more corvette tax) to give you this option, but I will give you as much info as I can for free, because your my corvette brother!

p.s.-if you decide to do it, take your time in cutting the dash for the HUD bezel, there isn't much room for error!

Not as costly as it used to be. I think Forum member PaceThis offers a package for around $400.00. Install is a piece of cake as long as you have good instructions and a lot of patience.

I believe forum member Connecticut does the install as well for about $400. I'm not positive but would suggest checking with him. BTW, I love my hud.
