Not sure if you've place your order yet. I have red mist, natural, GT2 seats, and I get as many compliments on the interior as I do on the exterior color choice.

You might want to talk to your Ophthalmologist about that line of thinking….

Nope. I wear prescription lenses and have both clear and sunglasses. HUD becomes even clearer with polarization.

Your brain adjusts so quickly to this it's a non issue in my experience. Did seem to get a lot better after tinting front windshield at 70%

Yep, brain soon sees through the reflection. It was initially an issue my 2014 C7 3LT Kalahari (tan) and somewhat worse with my 2020 C8 3LT Natural Dipped than my current E-Ray 3LZ Artemis. But even see some reflection with black section of dash. When someone mentioned polarized glasses solved the issue I bought two different color, inexpensive clip-on polarized glasses for my progressive transition, frameless glasses. The yellow tint did nothing, the brown blocked the reflection 100%. Amazing. But never used and they stayed in my console as my mind soon learned to look thru/past any reflection!

If you have the carbon fiber on the dash and dont want to wear glasses and it really bothers you. You could always go to ebay or amazon and buy a little strip of xpel stealth or similar and cover them up with that. Would look better and not that big of a deal. Heck could probably get a free leftover piece from a local business that you could trim yourself.

This thread was never about a solution to glare. That is documented here. This was the OP's personal bitchin' and moanin' session.

I would check and see if you can get black leather replacement as well from dealer. That couldn't cost that much.
