Good like i posted on non 2SS or 2LT cars GM made changes to the harness in the dash so i have to do a more expansive harness for them.

Don't be, all you do is start past the line on the dash 1/4 past it and use the template i gave you its smaller then the opining, from there you will need to make it biger to the sides and windshield.

What I am worried the most about is cutting the dash for the HUD. . . has anyone F-ed this up yet?
My steering wheel came right off , no puller was needed. I left the bolt in with a few threads and yanked on the wheel.

I'll give it a little tug today to see if it will come off.

Working on another mod also. Well 3 at once... HUD install, seat stitching dying, and a LED light in the over head console. The wifes's HHR has one that stays on the whole time. Very nice... I have a extra OEM blue one.

Cool! My plan is for a general down-light. Is there info on pulling that panel?

the steering wheel splines have a cednter mark. i punched another adjacent to it on the shaft, to make damn sure they lined up upon install.
another tip....ofer's template fits the bezel perfect, so you can go up to about an extra 1/8th inch or so past and the clips will still snap in and hold.
i put the bezel on the projector lens, placed the projector in the dash, and traced the inside of the bezel on the inside of the dash. i used a grease pencil and traced ofer's template on the outside and measured both to the outside of the dash and they didnt line up--so i knew it was wrong. on the inside i drilled 4 eigth inch holes from the inside out to see where they would show to my outside markings. then i bolted the projector in place, and shone a light inside to see how far left and right i had to cut and i just moved ofers template accordingly and made sure i lined up to the dash bodyline. i was worried about getting it just right and perfectly centered to the lens.
i cut my final hole with a olfa knife in 3 stages being carefull to not slip and
make a mark or weak spot in dash. once satisfied, i filed the edges super smooth and round filed the corners so the dash doesnt crack in the years to come.
hope this helps.
