I think it is a cool idea. I dont know how practical it would be. I suspect it would cost lots of money to retrofit.

even if you get a HUD installed in the dash, it requires a windshield that will proberly reflect the information which isn't easy. GM figured it out and did it right, my Z06 has one and i wish my X had it too.

that's the headunit i used on my M roadster.

it requires you to tap into the speed sensor wire, tachometer wire, +12v, switched 12v, ground, and illumination wire, all accessible in the 3 connectors to the DASH/speedometer display console.

if you should go this route, i can look up the wires for you to tap..
