I looked at doing this before I found my latest car. It can be done, and it looks like it works fine. However, there is a reflective film in the windshield of cars equipped with HUD that helps the image look brighter with better contrast.
You'll can find the HUD display for as low as a couple hundred bucks on the auction site. Or new for around $1K. Then the coding, and you should be good to go.
If you go through with it, let us know how it turns out.

From a little quick research, it doesn’t seem to take too much parts. A couple wires, HUD module, and control module (buttons).. and windshield. Apparently, HUD cars have a different windshield so that the HUD reflects properly, otherwise you get sort of a double image that appears blurry. See this example of wrong windshield:

What you see is not blurred, it's shadowed doubled
We will post pictures when done, might also be the camera making it worse than it is

Seems to be right, here is a video proving it
So those who retrofit it will have to live with it, get a film applied or get a windshield
Thank you for your search 95Sinned420
