Mark- Please post up some install pics of it on your dash in the daytime, as well as daytime shots to see how well it works in the daytime (if its even readible), with and without the window tint stuff if you could please. Glad you're stocking these, just want to see more of it before forking over the dough. Thanks

How does it stand up in the sun.
On cars equipped with it from the factory there is a light tint where it projects so you can actually see it even in direct sunlight.
And HUD on vehicles is not that new...
My 94 Bonneville has it.

HUD history:
HUD technology was next advanced in the Buccaneer, the prototype of which first flew on 30 April 1958. Use of HUDs then expanded beyond military aircraft. In the 1970s, the HUD was introduced to commercial aviation,[4] and in 1988, the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme became the first production car with a head-up display.
General Motors began using head-up displays in 1988[21] with the first color display appearing in 2001 on the Corvette. In 2003, BMW became the first European manufacturer to offer HUDs. The displays are becoming increasingly available in production cars, and usually offer speedometer, tachometer, and navigation system displays. Night vision information is also displayed via HUD on certain General Motors, Honda, Toyota and Lexus vehicles. Other manufactures such as Citroën, Saab, and Nissan currently offer some form of HUD system. Motorcycle helmet HUDs are also commercially available.[22]
Add-on HUD systems also exist, projecting the display onto a glass combiner mounted on the windshield. These systems have been marketed to police agencies for use with in-vehicle computers.

As I posted in the other thread, I am now a vendor for autotrix. the price I pay plus a generic shipping charge of $20, that they charge me, +$10 profit + paypal fees is $200. My discount is hardly anything since it is just drop shop...
I PAID $200 for the one I just bought and installed from them so I sure as Hell am not ripping anyone off.
The $10 profit is also going straight to designing a better mount for these for our cars...

This is why we usally pay a lil bit more and buy from our sponsors so that way we have a resource when needed
