Isn't glare a big problem? I have an aluminum gauge panel in my dash and every now and then I get blinded. I can't imagine the whoile top of the dash being that bright on a sunny day.

ive never been blinded b4, it reflects light but not bad to where i cant see. i mounted it using brackets bolted to stock holes, that way the dash can come back out quickly, its coming back out anyway when i put the cage in, i'm looking for another car to put one in....

What's what I would think too. On my Mini I had the dash cover powdercoated black wrinkle for the reason.

seriously, light colors would be bad enough on the dash, let alone aluminum. Very dangerous as far as i am concerned, not worth the look
