Corvette Kid Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 C6 isnt nearly as easy as the C5s but they aren't too bad. Just be careful prying up on the dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quicksilver98 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I just put one in my C5 a few weeks ago....Had to replace the gauge cluster and thought what the hell, while I have it that far apart may as well throw a HUD unit it. The point of no return is cutting the hole in the dash pad! Screw that up and you'll pay dearly for another. Measure twice and cut once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvette Kid Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 C6s GM got smart and only use 1 dash and they just have a pop in cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkC7 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 HUD in in and working great. I'm still uploading pictures to my site so I'll add a link as soon as its ready for anyone interested in the step-by-step. All told it was a fairly easy install. I did use the "cut the duct" method to make it easier to get everything in place as detailied in this great video: http://youtu.be/A-iAJguY9xQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of no return is cutting the hole in the dash pad! Screw that up and you'll pay dearly for another. Measure twice and cut once! Grats on you new HUD! I had it easy compared to you thanks to the pre-cut dash. I'm thinking of adding HUD to a 2001 coupe. Do you recommend any online guides or did you have to wing it? thanks C6s GM got smart and only use 1 dash and they just have a pop in cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
