99RegalGS Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Way to go Davis. I've had mine for a week and I'm really glad I got it. Now dont u need the HUD windshield or is that just a scam? All that the HUD winshield does is to reduce ghoasting. And the ghoasting isn't really noticable unless it's dark out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 i think the special HUD windshield also helps reflect better on sunny days. my HUD is useless during the daytime unless it's really cloudy out. at night tho i have to have it on the dimmest setting, and even on the dimmest setting it's a little too bright IMO. i also cut my original non-HUD dashpad. it looks ok, but i still need to make some adjustments so the HUD unit itself sits more flush with the top of the dash. it will never look perfect, but mostly because the dash is warped around the defrost vent. too bad i can't order a nice new blue HUD dashpad from the GM dealership! get some pics Dave!

Crimson Fury Z Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 well, when i got my new windshield(see mah cardomain page)i was asked if it had hud :shock: , but i said no(@ the time i hadn't planned on hud). so if you want one, go smash your current one out, and get a hud ready replacement, hell, i thought about that!!

Guest TurboSedan Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 when i got my windshield replaced they asked me that too, but i said no...that was way befrore i planned on HUD. i wouldn't go so far as to get a non-HUD windshield replaced just so the display is clearer/easier to read. it works just fine with a regular windshield....maybe not optimal but definately good enough.

manitcor Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 you can save yourself alot of trouble and just put a small square of 1% tint (or mirrored applied to the outside) where the HUD needs to reflect, it may look a little weird but it would be quite functional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiiirt Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Interesting. I looked up the replacement windshield on the GM system and it costs around $800 retail (CDN$) All i gotta say is fuck that. If it works with any windshield im down. I cant see it during the day for the most part anyways.. Who needs to see how fast ur going during the day anyhow. I just got the biggest chip in my window. almost made it through.

supreme_style21 Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 :? My HUD has no problems w/o the HUD windshield.. day or night. Obviously in those insanely bright days when you're driving into the sun, you can't see it.. but I always experienced the same thing with the digital dash in my old Supreme.

Obviously in those insanely bright days when you're driving into the sun, you can't see it.. but I always experienced the same thing with the digital dash in my old Supreme. Same here, but before I installed the HUDs, I opened them up and cleaned off both the VFD inside and the mirror. I did that on the TGP as well, and its HUD brightness and clarity increased almost 2x. Over time, they get fogged up with a film of dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our cars had HUD winsheilds from the factory even without the option. I mean, if we were pre-wired for it and tthey went as far as that, I think we would have the windsheild... maybe not, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 looks good, and if you want to paint to match, since it's abs plastic you won't need primer. I actually just painted my friend's HUD and you'd never know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
