Reflections on the windshield grrr...
 
I am tempted to get Carbon Fiber overlays for the silver dash parts as they reflect in my windshield all the time, day or night. It's quite distracting. Just wondering if other folks have this issue too and what other solutions may be out there.

I have the CF guage pod covers and they reflect on my windshield but I actually like them. Rarely notice it unless in a well lit tunnel...

So CF reflects too? Just ducky.

Never noticed this. Are you talking about the little trim bezels from the stock gauges? Z owners will complain about everything!

From the guages on either side of the steering wheel.

I agree, first car I have had that has silver trim above the dash, it is distracting. I think black carbon wrap would look good around the gauges and the speedo/tach as well, just can't figure how to separate the silver from the black.

Pref. matte. Glossy will still reflect.



*Not sure if a matte tint really exists, but my idea is plausible.

I suggest a carpet dash cover.

Step 1. Go buy a Camaro
Step 2. Deal with the half assed attempt at a HUD in the center of your Field of View
Step 3. BBQ said Camaro
Step 4. Appreciate the Z

you distract me, the car said.

That dash cover site has suede, hmmm. Anyone else have one?

Grindkiezer 01-04-2014 02:39 AM

just ditch the windshield.

I have 70% front tint and this still definitely annoys me. I have been thinking about just getting some 3M vinyl and wrapping all those pieces in a matte black or CF. I'll probably end up having to balance it out by doing some other pieces....probably just ALL the silver trim pieces.

I see my face reflecting on the triple guages at the center of the dash and that was distracting. :)

SunsetZ 01-04-2014 10:56 AM

Anyone know how to seperate the silver trim collars from the speedo and clock etc?

I haven't taken the time to pull it all apart yet myself but I'd love to know in advance if anyone's already done it.

But it's prescription!

Never noticed anything here. I've had cars though with chrome! Now that's distracting and down right blinding! Very dangerous at times.
