Do some searching using the terms: HUD retroft. I think after reading the many topics on this issue, you'll find that it's not very cost effective to install HUD after the fact. Many people speculate that it would be cheaper to sell your car and get another one with HUD in it...

Given the new dash, new windscreen, etc., wiring harnesses, not to mention other software and things I'm not even thinking of, so I am extremely skeptical of whether an upgrade would be even feasible. Has anyone attempted this?

No attempts as far as I can recall.

Many people ask the question but once they hear how involved the process would be, I think they bail and learn to live without one...
