This is true...but you will be able to see it much better on the glass that is specifically for the HUD....it has some sort of "gas" that is in the glass that makes it display better. COSTS A TON TOO...so if it works for you on the NON-gas/display glass...I'd go with that. I asked a glass repair shop that did some work for me in the past on my C4...told me that on my C5 the windshield would be almost $1000 installed! Compaired to a few hundred for non-HUD glass.

Can anyone think of something they could apply to the inside of the windshield that might help him see it better without paying a TON for the correct glass? Maybe a small piece of 5% tint or something that would help reflect it? I don't know! Just an idea...once it's installed use a wax pencil and trace around the area and cut a piece to fit that part? Just an idea if you can't see it very well.

HUD Install is done!!

Took me just under 5 hours and thats because i also changed my shifter to a short shifter. If you can change your oil, you can make this upgrade. I still have the regular glass and the image looks great at night. i will see how it looks tomorow. Had to take out alot of screws but the instructions were really easy. Here are some pics. It gets real ugly when you have to actually dismantle the dash of a new Vette to get this, but in the end it was all worth it.











I highly Recomend this Kit sold by Dennis. He is very Knowledgable with the kit he has produced and it trully can not get any easier than this.

Good Luck!!
