Sure looks like it

Is that silver carpet on the top pf it? I've been wondering what I wanted to do to reduce the sun glare reflection I get from this dash.

Right now I drive through the pits with my gloves up there and then once I get on to the track I don;t have a problem.

Yeah it is

Part of my problem is that I love the way the dash looks the way it is and really don;t want to cover it up

Yea I know what ya mean. But really had no other choice. The lighter carpet seems to not be so distracting.

Here's my old dash.........It must have been part of the safety system.
It was made out of .090" aluminum and TIG'd together. I have no idea
how they made the bends.

The wrap in Vic's car looks great in person.
