this is the link to a company that makes a heads up display setup.. Its not the only company, dakota digital can make something custom up for you since they manufacture one-off instrument clusters, they can set it up to be "Reversed" so you can reflect off the windshield..

Their all (same with caddy) Vacuum flourescent displays, like the serial LCD devices you see in custom modded PC's... I have something similar hooked up to my (Soon to be installed) in car PC that reads the OBD-II port and puts status on the screen.

Here's something nearly identical to the device I used for my friends race car..

 

That is one cool display! Anybody has it and can comment? What's the price?

 

says 250 not including the display.. ive got my own display already (pioneer head unit) 250 isnt that bad for guages

 

Yep.. but remember that its only the CPU, you need the sensors and harnesses.. Expect to put about $500 minimum into it.

 

i see...

::throws idea of electronic guages out the window, pulls fire alarm::

 

Wow... This is just about exactly what I'm looking for. http://www.bigbuddyperformance.com/holo.htm
I e-mailed them for more information about their unit so I'll post up what they send me. This would be great to have a custom system that can be installed into the dash. Thanks MalibuJack this is great, good looking.

 

This is great!

 

Please keep us posted. I'm very interested in something like this provided it won't cost too much. Looks like everything you'd need (oil temp, oil pres, boost, water temp, tach, and shift light) in one package. Very nice.

I just wonder how it will look in bright daylight. Would be very cool at night, huh?

the system will cost 486 msrp, and will be out soon. it includes all the hardware for the gauges shown above. extra ones such as egt, speed, etc are extra modules that can be connected for 80 to 100 per module.

it looks really nice, but it might be difficult to mount on our dash without cutting into it, b/c otherwise it will just be sitting on top of it, and our dash isnt flat in front of driver. the unit is 7"x7"x1.12".

 

We currently plan on having the basic HoloSportÒ HUD ready for general availability in the near future. It will be priced comparable to conventional gauges at MSRP of $486. We are working on getting distributors up and running. The basic system comes with Tachometer, Vacuum/Boost, Oil or Water Temperature, Oil Pressure, and Volts. Also included is a programmable shift light, a NOS arming and activation light. All of these functions can be viewed at the same time or each separately.



Additional expansion cards w/ senders (included) will be available for $80 to $125 MSRP depending on the function. These include functions such as speed, exhaust gas temp, air/fuel ratio, stereo amplifier temp, and NOS level. There is a limit as to how many of these can be added because the display gets crowded.



The dash unit measures 7"x7"x1-1/4" and we supply all the necessary senders for universal installation. For the individual that wants to mount it flush under the dash we have an under dash mounting system available. This of course requires cutting a hole in the dash.



The image displays directly on the windshield but you need to apply our clear proprietary film (supplied) for the best results. This is to eliminate the distracting double image you often see when something is reflected off of the dash onto the windshield. We condition the optical properties so that you get a nice single crisp image of the display. We also have an optional Tombstone display much like the fighter pilots have in their aircraft. These are available for an additional $127.50 MSRP.



The unit will be available in three-color choices; green, red/orange, and blue. It turns out that due to availability the only color available initially will be the red/orange. We are having the web site updated to reflect this. We have also designed and patented the system to work in daylight. There are two settings because the light required for daylight operation is to bright for nighttime use.



I hope this was informative and thanks for considering the HoloSportÒ product.

 

That is what they said when i e-mailed them for more information... Looks like I'll be waiting for this system, unless I find any other better systems in the mean time.

 

BUMP... anyone found anything similar that has just come out?

 

That HoloSport system looks amazing

 

definatly does! I want it!!! this would sell great too.
