[PICS] HUD Install on a very rare NB FRC
as many of you have noticed Pacethis has recently become a supporting vendor selling HUD kits, these kits take all the hassle from tracking down parts and the '11-pin hud harness' (unavailable from GM)
nyhollywood recently made the trip from Long Island to CT for the install(not a bad drive when you have a Vette Doctors Rx450 equipped Nassua Blue FRC)
parts inlcuded in kit:
HUD projector w/ hardware and double sided tape for mounting
HUD switch(replaces dimmer on stock gage surround)
HUD bezel(trim to fit into dash pad)
HUD harness(uses one end of the original dimmer harness)
very detailed instructions
most '99 and newer c5's are equipped w/ the HUD cluster
dash pad removed and HUD installed(about an hour)
HUD projector, the harness is part of the projector, this plugs into the top of the cluster
here's the difficult part of the install, trimming the dash pad, i used a few new razor blades(lenox makes a nice utility knife), first 'scribe' the lines, then make a few passes to cut the hard plastic(1.5 hours)
total time to install? 3 hours, the dash pad requires patience when trimming, no epoxy or glue needed, when done correctly, the 2 tabs grab the underside of aft bezel and 4 retainers hold the 4 post of the bezel
need HUD parts/kit? contact Pacethis
need HUD installed in the New England/NY area? send me a pm or post
