hot tips when it comes to vehicle HUDs
1. you get what you pay for.
2. a HUD in an F/A-18 costs around $60K

Well, $200 might be on the cheap side, but if someone makes it for our cars it'll be less than $60k!
Several cars on the market have them. I drove a rented Nissan 240SX with a HUD speedometer way back in '90. That was like a $15k car back then, and electronics get cheaper over the years. The speedo was a total waste of a cool technology. Tach would've been useful. Then again, those new Caddies with the HUD night vision are pretty freakin' cool too!

Very nice...dads 2002 vette has the HID and it is extremely cool...I would definatly want to build some type of dash enclosure though...looks kinda strange just sitting out there
I like the funtionality of that speed/tach, instead of building an enclosure, couldn't it be dropped into the dash like on the Pontiac GTP? I would definitely want that thing to be stealth. It screams steal me![]()
