Default Dash Kits

Just curious if anyone has installed one of the colour matching dashkits to their C6 convertible?

Does it create any extra glare when the top is down?

They have discontinued Lemans Blue from the power top but still have it in the manual. Has anyone purchased this and then cut the opening for the power switch?

I only see Corvette Central offering this, does anyone know if any of the others suppliers are as well?

I have color matched dash items and it does not cause any issues with reflections. There are quite a few vendors who offer color matched items (RPI and Performance Corvettes come to mind). I see one that offers color matched carbon fiber which I was considering switching over to.

Thanks for the reply Rusty. Going to get a cost on having them painted as i need something else done and maybe can it thrown in. I like the look of the matching dash and radio/centre console when the top is down but hard to find in Lemans Blue with the auto top.
