Default HUD dash plug?

If I remove my HUD, is there a oem cover for the hole, or is it a new dash needed?

New or used dash pad is needed. Why not just leave it in and save a lot of work?

Thanks Bill, I guess I could, I'm going to the 300mph gauge cluster, no HUD.

Just wont be hooked up, don't seem to ever use it, and i only see half of it when seated. Thought I'd take it out and sell with Z06 cluster as package.

Do you already have the cluster? If so post a picture of the top looking down.
If you have this plug I circled in red you should be able to use your HUD.

If the cluster is off a 2000+ it'll have the connector.

Cluster came in today, don't appear to be HUD approved,

So I'm thinking should be able to move internals around to be able to get the 300 mph speedo into my current cluster with HUD.
