Has anyone used a HUD in an MKIII?

It's a nice gadget and maybe someone could get used to it, but i for sure wouldn't. I'd rather look down on my gauges but once you've driven a car for a certain period you just know how high you are revving and how fast you are going (or at least have a decent idea 
).
The idea basically is just a mirrored LCD display with a damn high output that reflects in the windshield. The only thing i'd use it for was as a warning thing, like oilpressure or watertemp

They are pretty neat, but the novelty wears off after a while. Also the aftermarket huds mount on top of the dash in front of the steering wheel, unless you cut your dash for a recessed fit, which would be a pia. Having that box sitting on top the dash imo would look kinda cheesy, especially when you dont have much room up there to start with. I looked at getting one too, but decided against it, it's all a matter of personal preference.
yeah, its got a box that sticks on the dash, and a small square of some kind of reflective film kinda like window tint that you apply to the windshield. defi makes it and its not that expensive, id try it and see how you like it, if not, put it on ebay like everyone else.

that's exactly why I've been looking into them!!!
but eventually I think we'll have to fix our speedo's
ya... the room between the dash and the windshield is the BIG problem that I'm seeing right now... that's why i was wantin to see if anyone had tried it in the mk3
id mount mine off to one side where theres a little more room, but not too far of coruse, that just wouldn't make any sence!

as always a C5-C6 vette would probably be one of the few reasonable cars id trade my supra for.MassSupra89 said:Here it is in a C5 'vette

umm dude that is not a HUD
that is a $6000 dollar piece of datalogging, monitoring and display device. Motec ADL. Not the SPORT ADL.
