Aftermarket HUD Windshields *2000+ Owners*
 

Has anyone hear had their windshield replaced with an aftermarket HUD windshield?

How much was it and what are you thoughs about it?

97 Window is only about $250. Although most 2000+ owners are probably carrying full coverage.

7 quotes received today, cheapest was $425, most expensive was a bit over $700.

Those are the "'l'll bring cash" price..


I'm guessing any windshield is fine, but wondering if certain are better than others since at the bare minimum $425 is a lot for a windshield.

That sound like what it cost for mine on my 95 around 5 years ago

PPG is good from what I hear. That's all I've ever got when I had anything replaced. I never requested for it, it's what they seem to use around here in NVA.

You mean there is a special windshield for the HUD?

For my 95 there was. They ask me if it had HUD when I was getting quotes over the phone. After they installed it it had a sticker on it that said it was for the HUD. I think the sticker is still on it today :lol:

hmmm whats the difference in them? more reflective?

I'm not sure sorry. It doesn't look any different than any other windshield to me.

HUD windshields contain a "wedge" design..there is a center layer that gets thicker the farther you go down.

That center layer allows it to produce a "clear" image..nomrally you get the double image on a NON-HUD windshield.

I can tell you, I have a non HUD windsheild, infact the only SSEi ive owned with a real GM windshield was my first 93, i dont notice a huge difference, but thats me.
