    when i had my Z31 i found this little mod to change the color of the digi dash

    XenonZ31 Digital Dash Color Change

    so i was curious if you guys think it would work to change on the HUD?

    I haven't taken a HUD apart before, but most the parts in our cars are white bulbs with colored faces in front of them. So bear that in mind.

    The HUD is like the dash in that 300zx it might be possible to put the film over it but I don't think it would be bright enough

    You can always do a swap for brighter bulbs. Or remove the color completely and go with colored bulbs.

    I'm pretty sure not positive though the HUD is a lighted LCD thus no lights behind it

    Well if it's LCD then you can't really change the color can you? If it's green then whatever you tinted over it with would be green tinted with whatever color?

    What? How? The yard I go to has literally like 50 of them. SE's, GT's, GTP's...everything. You can get basically ANY part you need for a GP from that place.

    Right on..... There was a guy a while back that tried changing it and it got no where. Maybe you'll have better luck with it??? Also Kaden where in wisconsin are you from? There's plenty of GP's in my area.
