Its like an aftermarket thing you can get (some cars have em stock) and it looks like its built into the windshield jsut about the steering wheel. Its a digital readout of mph, and RPMs

hmm i think what ive seen is different than that. Better cuz thats just a reflection onto the winshield. I think the ones ive seen were actually on the windsheild. Also i dont think they cost the guy 200$ cuz the guy doesnt have much money

I think your talking about a HUD (heads up display)

It has been used in several factory cars.

It's basicly just a LED display that is angled such that it reflects off the windshield and into your eyes.

You can see all kinds of info.... speed... rpm... other stuff.

They aren't hard to make but I'm not sure if the numbers have to be a "mirror image" so that they display correctly when you look at the reflection on the windshield.
