Sweet. :D :D :cheers:

Hey, quick question for you to answer after you get your dash put back together. I remember reading that the HUD requires a "special" windshield that reflects the image projected by the HUD back towards the driver at the correct reflection angle. Is this true or have I forgot that I've smoked some good stuff in the past? Either way, the HUD is sweet, I've realized lately how little I look at my analog gauges during normal driving. When I'm ripping around, I reference the analog tach because it's a lot easier to read that the stupid digital sweep tach, but other than that, it's all HUD.

Congrats Tony!! :cheers:

QUIK.....the windshield isnt reqired for retro fit, but the true HUD windshield is different than non HUD.....GM has reflectivity contraints and it must pass them, but I have set in the car for many minutes just idling and it is CRYSTAL clear :cool: .... so the stuff ya smoked, although good, didnt f*ck up your recolection Bro ;) :lol: ........ I owe ya a BREW !!!!!!!

Jeremy.......I thought I emailed ya friday .... was drunk :cheers: and accidentally email gonbad (Mike) instead of you :lol: was tryin to enlist some help, but got it all done in my garage with the WS6 right in there so the doors wouldnt open all the way ......

I AM PRETTY DAMN PROUD :D

Mine also lights up but very dim. It has always been that way. I wouldn't take it in for warranty, they'll probably screw something up.
