Default HUD cover?

Does anyone make a HUD cover? I've never liked the HUD(02Z) and would like to have a plastic cover to cover the hole in the dash.

Just curious? Any ideas?

Never saw one. AFAIK you cut the dash pad and install the HUD bezel (if you're adding it aftermarket) so not sure there would be much of a market for covering one up. Guess you could get a plain dash pad and install that.

It doesnt get dirty in my experience. I'd find it a pain having to pull a cover off before driving. Plus it would cause reflections. Not worth it IMHO

So turn the HUD off-what's the big deal?

Find someone with a non-hud car that wants an HUD. Swap with them and get $500 out of the deal. A couple hours and they are swapped.

That would be one solution. Or find someone parting out a car without a HUD and buy the dash cover. Then you can unplug your HUD and run without it. I guess the HUD isn't a big deal for everyone, but I sure would miss mine if it were not there.

HAHA... I've never heard of this problem.

Personally, I hate driving without the HUD. But I agree with doje. There are lots of people that want the HUD. Do a trade with them.
