Dash toupe users...
I was thinking about getting a toupe for my dash 
a couple of questions if I might:
First - are you happy with yours?
Does it increase reflective sun glare?
If not, I would assume that it reduces the reflective glare from the large HUD bezel since the hole for the HUD seems smaller than the size of the projector glass plus the bezel (in other words - the tuope seems to cover the bezel).
thanks in advance.

Yeah...but this way it kinda protects the dash from the sun - making the surface ripple by baking the vinyl and the material directly under the vinyl...especially along edges.

My C5 has one like the black one pictured with the logo. There is no glare from the dash. It doesn't collect any dust if you know how to operate a vacuum.

Thanks owl.
I figured if I got one I'd put it on with velcro instead of double sided tape so I could remove it for vacuuming. I'd also stick the side of the velcro that goes on the dash on my jeans a couple of times so it wouldn't adhere 'too' well to the dash for total removal (for car shows and stuff).
