HUD/Non-HUD Windshield
I replaced the HUD windshield on my 2001 'Vette cpe. with a non-HUD, not really caring if I had HUD and also because of the price difference.
I was pleasantly surprised that the HUD works just fine and now I like it.
The job was done by All Pro Windshields (Houston Area ) at a very reasonable price ( mine was less than $300 ). The tech that they sent did a fine job. He didn't break any trim or moldings which I understand is a real concern. If you need a new windshield or chip repair, I'd suggest you give All Pro a call. Talk to Susan if you can - tell her you heard about them on Corvette Forum. They'll come to you.

Hud windshields
The difference is that the HUD windshield has a front surface (closer to the drivers eyes) coating so that the image is projected on a surface before passing through the thickness of the glass and suffering blurring due to a slightly shifted second image. It's subtle, but people with sharp vision are bothered by the double image.

I recall that the glass company did leave the door open for parts replacement. I watched the tech enough to see that he was very meticulous, so I suppose he saved me some money.
I agree with CaliforniaJack that there is a very slight "fuzziness", due to the reflection coming off the outside surface. Since my eyesight and thinking are both fuzzy, doesn't bother me.

Might be good to post this in the appropriate regional section.
