Sure, it would work. It's just a question of reflection off the windshield.

I highly doubt that image is that clear not to mention that a large block like that, in the middle of the windshield would nerve the crap out of me. I would prefer something on either the top or the left hand side and like what you see in a fighter plane, just a plain overlay.

I understand what you're saying. But it sure does a lot . . . speedo, tach, shift light, speed governor release. I think it'd be cool to see one of these units installed.

Yeh it'd work but I think it would look tacky as sh-t. I mean, like stick a little reflector on my windshield and put something that looks like an egg timer on my dash? No thanks.

actually, a person w/ a accord has one. he loves it and said he doesn't know how he got alone w/o one.

but for me, it's not worth the price

If the unit were recessed in the dash pad and spruced up a bit it might not loook too bad.

Drive a car with a HUD and you'll change your mind!
