Best White Dashboard cover to hide white interior

[BonanzaFlyer62]

Hello,
Anyone knows of a good quality (Carbon or matching interior black) dashboard cover easy to install for a Model Y 2nd Generation? I saw a few at RPM, Teslarati but they don't seem to have one out for Gen 2 cars. The ends are no longer available as they were on Gen 1 on the dashboard. I have tinted windows and the dashboard is blinding my mirrors when I am driving
Any suggestions? Thank you

If you're talking about the gloss-white dash strip, I decided to cover mine with RPM's grey alcantara to reduce glare.

I'm very happy with it. They sell other options:

Model 3 & Y Dashboard Cap (2 Piece) - Grey Alcantara

This is a very affordable 2-piece dashboard cap that covers up the stock original TESLA open pore wood dashboard. It installs in less than 15 minutes. This item is injection molded ABS plastic. On the TESLA Gen. 2 center console it matches the cell phone doc perfectly and if you have our...

Yes, correct I am referring to the gloss-white dash strip. I'm going to look at what the other options are since this one comes in two pieces with a cut right in the middle and I'm leaning more towards a black or carbon look that will not "glow" on the side windows as the white strip does. I thank you for responding

The two-piece actually works great (and is vastly cheaper + easier to install). The cut lives behind that huge center display screen, so you never see it.

They also make one piece (basically replace the white strip with a new one). It's nice, but a ton more money and work to put on.

$0.02

I went for a whole dash replacement and I'm very happy with the results. Here is the one I purchased:

I purchased a two-piece ABS dash cover, and a roll of black alcantara material and wrapped it myself. I also have tint on my front side windows and the white glare sits squarely in the middle of the side mirror effectively blocking the entire view. The two-piece ABS cover is printed carbon fiber which still reflects and I would assume real carbon fiber (gloss or matte) would reflect the same that's why I went with alcantara. Now it is nice and black and won't reflect in the side mirror, and it matches the alcantara I put on the steering wheel and center console.

Now there's still the upper part of the dashboard assembly that reflects, which I'm thinking about removing and spraying with plasti-dip to black it out...

Do you have a link to the Alcantara you used or any tips on installing? I've been on the fence about doing this myself for a while

This is the stuff I got. I purchased it from Amazon but in hindsight, you need a roll that is 6 FT in length, and the one on Amazon is only 52" which is just shy of that, but since I was wrapping a two-piece dash cover (https://www.amazon.com/LMZX-Interio...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==) it didn't really matter. It was much easier to wrap the two dash covers, then install the dash covers on the actual dash, than to remove the actual dash from the car and wrap it that way, and the end result is more than acceptable. Just as well also, because I was trying to remove the dash from the car, but could not for the life of me, remove one of the two end cover pieces blocking the dash assembly in, so I did it the dash cover way.

If you can find other suede vinyl wraps that is 1.5 FT x 6.0 FT on a roll, that is suitable for vehicle wraps, you can use that also. It doesn't have to be the Vivvid brand. This size will allow you to have two attempts.

Why hide it, I paid an extra $1k for it.

Alcantara looks great. Also love the T color

Hills makes some CF and dark wood MY dash covers (and matching door covers and console covers (gens 1 and 2)).
i like the white look on the dash and doors but did get a gen 2 console cover and the fit is excellent. they ship from Europe so it took a few weeks to get to me, but well worth it imho,

I painted my white dash trim to black. It is a paint that can be peeled anytime. See post #48:

3 Reasons Not to get the White Interior

I covered about 9 inches on each end of the dash with a black dash wrap....cut a 45 degree angle on the inside edges...looks great and takes a lot of the glare away.

It doesn't bother me but that strip creates both glare coming in from the front, and reflection in the side window(s), and may be an issue for other people.

Found the Hannshow dashboard cover wrap (carbon fiber cap) on Amazon for $189. Very easy to install. Matches rear spoiler and looks oem.

I like that better than the alcantara personally....

I really like the wood. My hope is (if I stick with white) that I'd find someone to swap me door panels & the front dash.
