Anyone's HUD look level? Mine has a slight slant to it. I drove 3 other HUDs (2 C6 & 1 C5) all seem to slant somewhat also. I thought it was my head no being level but I spoke to another C6 owner and he said his does not seem level either. Any feedback?

Yeah, mine seems to slant a bit also, right side seems lower than the left. Just enough to be annoying but not so much that it has to go to the dealer (not that they can do much about it anyway, I bet.)

Mine is level. Work with the adjustment button to center on your line of sight. Good luck.

It's for when we want to do the "gangsta lean".
