there was a thread about this a while back.

i have been trying to find some clear yellow material to lay in the hud window to change it to green,
but i guess im not looking in the right place.

but it would have to be very clear to not distort the image

This would be so cool if you did that.

Get colored window tint would probably be the best way to change the color.

Maybe, but it looks very similar to the way the one in the dash displays, so I wasn't sure.
