Custom dashboard?

Tinted my windows recently and now the only thing you can really see in the interior is the dashboard when you look from the front. I got to thinking that if my dashboard was Fox Red that it might look pretty cool. Has anyone ever tried customizing their dashboard?

Something to think about IF you can do this is Porsche writes a disclaimer for those who opt for the red or beige dashboard because it reflects off the windshield a lot. So there’s a good chance every sunny day you’ll see a fox red ghost reflection in your face the whole time

Didn't even think about that. Very good to know! Thank you for sharing that bit of info.

I had a friend do his white (several years ago, Honda) and the glare/reflection from the sun was VERY distracting. Often hard to see what's on the road.

I'm sure red will be better than white, but similar principle will apply.
