Yes.

What is the diff from HUD glass and nonHUD glass. My car had a HUD unit added (I do not think the glass would have been changed for that)

Yea, depending what Corvette you have, Coupe with HUD windshield has a special coat for the reflection. Also Z06 have a thinner windshield to save weight. Rumor has it a standard windshield will still reflect the HUDs (I've heard that, don't know it to be true). Good luck..
