I don’t think clearing the top of the dash is a good idea the glare will be too intense. My buddy had a drag car with a aluminum dash in, it wants polished just raw aluminum and the glare off of that thing was very intense we wound up putting duck tape on the entire top of the dash just so you could drive the car.

That's why you tint the front windshield...

I love the idea!!!

If you take a look at my pics, I did a body colored dash. No glare, nothing like that at all. I attached a couple pictures, but there are more on my webshots if you look there.
