I first saw someone from a Japan website did this mod, then found a How-to from M3F.
I used the original LCD polarizer (flipped) but didn\'t like the result. The red text wasn\'t bright enough and black background wasn\'t dark enough. So I ordered a 44% linear transmittance polarizer from 3D Lens (Item #: POAT-S). Received the polarizer within a week, quick delivery
The new film gives a more black background and the red text is more visible a daytime.
Contrast of the radio LCD display set to 5 or 6.

Note: The LCD background is less red-ish in the real world.
The toughest parts were to take out the stock polarizer and to clean the glue. I used Goo-Gone and heard that the 3M Adhesive Remover is better.
Overall, I like the result
I\'ll try to snap a few daytime pix later.
