MommyTaz022200 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 The car I got my HUD unit out of had no dash top on it so I don't know where exactally to cut the hole. Does anyone know the measurements or have a "stencil" to cut it? I'm assuming if the hole is not in the right spot it will not be able to reflect onto my windshield.

Guest Anonymous Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I think the 93 HUD dash is totally different from my 95... your best bet would be to ask gearhead43, I know he has done the install and has been a great help with my electrical woes.

Quite different. Besides, you can't cut the '94-'96 dashpads to accomodate the HUD. The entire thing needs to be replaced. Gearhead or Malibuolds are the few I know of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommyTaz022200 Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I sent Gearhead a pm asking him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I assume you've looked for a hud dash pad with no luck, but that IMO is the best way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 i got a really crappy dash pad from the same car my HUD came from and used that for quite awhile. i just cut my original non HUD dashpad a few weeks ago. it definately looks alot better than the old warped HUD dash pad. it's not perfect, but looks pretty good. cutting the dash pad was a major PITA! cut...test fit...cut...test fit...over and over. i used a razor to cut the padding away, then i used a Dremel and cutting discs for the hard plastic underneath. i also used a tungsten carbide cutter (a little over kill lol) when i needed to 'carve' the plastic after most of the plastic was already cut away. http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14960&highlight=cutting+hud good luck.
