This is what I did to change the display color of my clock in my old CRX:
- Go to the hobby store and buy the transparent color brush on model paint of your choice. The paint I used is a company called Tamiya.
- Find a flat, hard plastic package off of something you bought out of a store, and cut a section to fit into the HUD display.
- Take your paint and paint one side of the plastic piece you cut. The more layers between fully drying, the darker and richer the color.
- Let FULLY dry
- Slap it ontop if the hud display, facing the dry, unpainted side of the plastic directly against the display.

great idea! but i was way ahead of ya...i bought some candy purple, candy read, candy blue fascolor at my local r/c hobby shop. sprayed each color on some pieces of lexan sheets i had when i used to r/c. now, i got some really nasty and some cool color options to shoose from.
o, and yea, i wasn't high when i was talking about the HUD....i was just saying that UNTIL 'I' had a word about the HUD, THEN it would be settled. but it doesnt matter now. i was just shocked that some ppl never seen a HUD in the US before. but like i said, i dont care nomore.
