quantum, I hear what your saying on the plexi, I planned to try it with and without to see if it makes a real difference, I want to try to seal off the electronics in the recessed box from dust and damage. I willl look into the anti-reflective coating that you mentioned, this seems like a good option.

I have been toying with what might work as a good reflective material to put on the windshield to ensure that the image is not visiable to people coming at the car head-on and to improve the image on the windshield without signifigently degrading the opacity of the windshield. If I find anything good I will post it up here, so far my googling has just resulted in hits on polymer (OEM and between the 2 glass panels in the windshield, also has a specific wedge angle for each car) and tints, but i have not been able to find much else.

If the image is not visable from the front of the car I dont see how it could be illegal, NightVision was offered as a stock option on the 2000-2004 deville and many other cars have simpler HUD's that project speed, ect.

Very nice write up BTW, I look forward to seeing how your project turns out.
