Homemade Heads up display.....

Hello everyone, lately I have tinkered with the thought of creating or just buying a heads up display for my Merc...

Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket device?

How hard would it be to fit such a device?

This one will replace in inaacurate targeting that the OEM Mercedes hood star provides.

GM integrated a HU display as an option in some of their higher end models . . . perhaps there's a unit sitting in a junkyard somewhere.
