But if you do a search on the forum I have read about people adding HUD's to their cars.

Hud question
Looking at an 06 C6 without a HUD. Love to have a hud and is this a hard thing to add on? I know people did it for their C5s, just curious if anyone here has done it to their C6...thanks.

A proper installation requires a different windshield, they say it will work with a non-hud windshield but a factory hud equipped vette does have a special windshield. Drive it a while and see if you miss it. I don't use mine and I understand it is very expensive to repair out of warranty as is everything chevy makes these days.

It can be done. Took me a saturday to install. Works fine on the standard windshield, though since mine is cracked, i'll most likely swap to the HUD windshield so I can report back on if there is any appreciable difference.

Search it out.It's been done several times on here.If you have to pay for it,it'll be somewhere in the 300-500 range.I am in the process of putting it in my 1lt.I will have someone do it who knows what they're doing.There's a guy on here who actually installed it in 2 hours.
P.S. It works fine with the regular windshield.

I barely look at the HUD. On bright days it's difficult to see. It sits low to the dash so I natrally look at the gauges. If I didn't have a HUD, I'd probably want one, thinking I was missing out and how cool it must be to have the speedo up high where I can see it. Then if I spent all that money and time to install one, fired it up and saw what that effort bought me, I'd take a small batt and thump myself upside the head. Your milage may vary.
