i loved the Heads up display in my GTP grand prix and i love the HUD in the corvettes. is there any way to put it in a firebird or camaro?

I have seen someone do it but can't remember where. They had a problem with the glare on the windshield. Cars that came with HUD already have some kind of meterial in the glass.

i can see it didnt turn out too well. why cant we just tap into the sensors/inputs that give signals to the HUD in corvettes?
i see on the wiring schematic for HUD on corvettes that it gets all of the signals from the IPC.

I heard our windshields are at a bad angle for HUD's.

Seems like a lot of work for something that "might" work. I'd say just buy a car that already has it, although it won't be an f-body.

So in a few years when I'm driving by in my LS7 powered 4th gen, I can say "Look, honey, a Zeta..why did they make them so ugly? Oh well, lets go say hi" :burnout:
