Lingenfelter used to sell a kit to do this, but they quit selling it about 2 years ago. You might try e-mailing them and asking for it.

the corvette hud will not fit under our dashes.

but you can go with an aftermarket unit like this.

the DEFI units sit on the dash, require you to place a plastic sheet on spot of your windsheild (if you want to eliminate multiple reflections).

HUD windshields are special. They do not have defects in the glass where the image is reflected. Check on the price of a HUD windshield and you will find they cost much more. If you got a system to work I'm not sure you would be pleased with the reflection.

Oh man those are annoying. Did you watch the little animation videos? How jumpy was that ****? Reminds me of the dash on real early 90's caddy's.

Actually thats a gimmic they sell in order for u to buy that really expensive oem windshield instead of any aftermarket. U can use the reflective sticker that they use on OEM HUD's and it will be the same thing.

what I bought http://www.defi-shop.com/

where I bought http://www.edoperformance.com/frontpage.php

never put the little square on the windshield. The amount of double vision is small enough not to be a bother.
