Default Old Topic - HUD for C4

I hate to revive this again, as we have previously beat this to death. I think I have new information that shows that this HUD might work on a C4. Since it is not too expensive I think I will test it.

Here is info on the device:

http://www.defi-shop.com/vsd2/vsdframe.htm

I found a vendor that sells it for $170:

I read one review that says it in not the greatest unit, not too accurate, and not the best of visability. But, you get what you pay for.

My question is this unit is available in Blue or Red. Which color light will show up better in daylight? Red might look better at night since all the lights in the interior of my C4 are kind of orange. Which color would you pick?

I know lingenfelter sells those things. Maybe on a late C4, but it would look funky sitting on the dashpad of an early C4. And I'm not cutting into the pad. :)

I dont know, I think Ill let you spend your money on it first. If it works and works well I may think about it, but probably not. I can just glance down at my speedo.:)

It's my understanding that the HUD for cars was actually designed and tested in the C4, then was produced in other cars. They decided it would of been to costly to redesign inside of the C4 dash for production. Our C4's were test beds and ahead of their time!
