On a HUD, would you even be able to see it on a sunny day with the top down? Unless the LEDs are super bright or there is some shade…wouldn't it be hard to see?

From the few I have looked at, you put a tinted film on the window where the reflection is. Film seems dark enough to show a good image yet transparent enough to see through. I wouldn't mount one of these dead center where my eyes see through the windshield but lower on the glass would be OK. Will do a lot of research before committing to one of these. The laser one from the UK looks like a winner and I am waiting for reply on fitment to Boxster.

This is the one from the UK that I was considering. Anybuddy have experience with it? Does not need a tinted film on the windshield.
