Default HUD installed

Last week I installed a HUD unit in my '99 Nasau Blue FRC. Thanks to my brother Dave, DAVE 515, the install was easy. He put HUD in his
TR FRC last year. The parts were puchased from FORUM members and took about three hours. A great and fun addition to my Vette.

That's the only mod I've done to my vette. It's definitely not necessary, but I always thought they were cool, so I got one

Will they work in a 97'? Do you have to modify anything or is it a plug and play option?

On your 97 you will require the complete cluster, hud unit, switch connector and bezel. On most 99 and later cars the cluster is already wired for the hud option just requiring the hud unit, cable, switch and bezel.

IMO, the HUD is one of the best options on the C5 - I really liked it on my last car.
