I'm impressed with Andrew's mechanical abilities, I would never try to do that on my own if I was aware of what it entailed.

Think the odds of getting it back together w/o and squeaks or rattles would not be high. Can't contemplate all the hours and then the dreaded and highly annoying rattles and noises set in with the choice of do it over again, live with it or pay a dealer mechanic upwards of $100/hr and he might not get it right either.

I really like the HUD and almost never look at anything else for speed info. Don

It's interesting that there is a HUD specific windshield... but it's benefit seems to be so minor, that you wonder why the even bothered to make one... and wonder why (with such little benefit) it costs soooo much more than the standard.

We had his-hers C5's; one had the factory HUD, the other ... I added the HUD. I could go back & forth between the two, and see the difference. On the HUD windshield, it was if someone made a 1-2% improvement in the focus/sharpness. So small of an inprovement - that you wonder why they even bothered with it???

Another arrogant reply, in other words if the someone doesn't have the same priorities and wishes as you do, they're ignorant. Absurd.

There are a number of things people get with the 2LT, which I have, that are desirable to my wife and I. Each to his/her own, spare us your very opinionated views. Don

After a month, you'd think someone could answer the question I posed:

So then, what is the ccc7 order that JudgeNjury writes of below??

Has anyone done this?

Looks to me his engineers told him to forget it.

Holy Crap!

Tell you what, it looks daunting lol. If you tackle that you are much braver than me. When I look at the pictures of the install I almost tossed my cookies.

The HUD and extra speaker were the two main options I wanted that weren't on the 1LT. Can honestly say that I don't miss them (not that I wouldn't mind having them). But there's no way on Earth I would attempt this!

Nice job!

I love the HUD. It's the main reason I got an LS2 interior. Between the HUD and the digital speed display in the center, I don't think I've looked at the speedometer even once while driving...

Thanks for sharing your project. I'm glad it's not me...

Well, just do the surgery yourself, sort of like Tom Hanks's tooth removal in Cast Away.

After seeing what you went through, no way I want to go through that. I'll just live without HUD.

As I previously have mentioned in other discussions, I think that the advent of the digital dash with its very clear digital speed display has pretty much made HUD obsolete. It's now a "nice to have" item I agree, but by itself not worth the premium involved in buying 2LT or going through the pain of installation.

The HUD works better with that windshield; its the laminate between the 2 sheets of glass that does the reflecting.

HUD is not worth all that trouble/expense. If wanted that badly just get the 2LT.

Did you ever get to GM part #s on all items primarily the 2 wiring harnesses needed? I plan to pull the dash this winter to complete my 2LT AR interior upgrade which includes replacing the dash with the red stitching. I will order it with the HUD option and upgrade the components to have HUD at the same time. I'm like you and have modified everything I own to make it better, and make it mine. I'm also doing an ECS centrifugal supercharger with ARH 1-7/8 long tune headers at the same time.
