Has anyone in western Canada, installed heads up display HUD in their 2010 camaro, or is thinking about installing one, alot of peolple down south has done so, for about $500 in parts and a full day of work it can be done, i looked at trading my camaro for a new one, but with what i've put in it and the difference in price of a trade, i'll convert mine.

You will have to change your windshield for the HUD display to work properly, so you have to add that to the price of the other parts..

I live in Alberta, windshield has a few rock chips, so no problem with a new windshield, lots of people have kept the non HUD windshield with no big difference, but i will replace mine.

There were pictures posted somewhere showing the difference between the HUD windshield and non HUD windshield and I, for one, could see little difference. This is a mod that I am interested in doing as well. Been pondering it for a long time. LOL

I think the hardest part is the will to cut the dash.

If you can find a copy of the Fall issue of Camaro Now Magazine they did a step by step walk through of installing the HUD.

After reading the article, thinking if I ever decide to do so, I'll leave to the professionals.

I saw the same article Matt. I'm leaning toward you in this thinking. LOL Cutting the dash, template or not, is just way too nerve racking for me. LOL

I have seen both windshields used as well (in pictures), but personally would retaining the stock non HUD glass if it was in decent shape. It's just a cash grab!!

As for cuttung into the dash.......just close your eyes on the first cut!! (GM sells dashes too!!LOL!).

I am fotunate to have an '11 and I live by mine when driving!! Love it!!
