Ok - I was thinking, would not it be cool to have a "Heads-Up" Display in my Raptor like I have in my Vette?

I know some of you have had the pleasure of a HID on your vehicle.

1) Do you think it would be cool?

2) Is it even feasible from a $$ and technical perspective?

Man, that would be cool in my mind - If they can install a front Camera why not a HID.

Thank about the possibilities? Yum Yum

You mean, HUD...not HID. HID's are headlights.

I think a FLIR system would be far more effective and cheaper, unless you're seriously only talking about displaying gauges on the windshield.

Don't I look like the fool. Yes exactly, I was thinking about those as well.

Just checking to see if you guys were paying attention!:crazy:

Now I got to Google FLIR System, so I don't look like a complete idiot!

HUD would suck so much ass it isn't funny.

Personally I would love a Raptor with no ABS and no traction control.

I think it would be very nice to have a HUD system in there.
Had it in my Pontiac grand prix GTP and loved it.

Seriously, What do you really think.

May I ask the reason for your "in depth" response?

Finally - Is there a way to suck ass that is funny!

If you do not sit at the proper angle as deemed per engineers, you can not see the the HUD. Simple.

I would love it. It's adjustable. (atleast in the vettes) and i doesn't do anything if you don't use it. It's like heated seats; if you wanna use it, it's great. If you don't wanna use em, just don't.

I would a HUD if the raptor came with guns and missles (I.e. f-22 raptor hud lol) then I could blow up freaking priusus, into bite size chunks.
