I attached this LED strip on the phone dock lid. It looks awesome from the front, but the LEDs point straight back to the back seats. Does anyone have an idea of something I could mount in front of the strip to shade the light from shooting straight back. Thinking of some plastic piece but don’t know where I could locate something as particular as that. Would really appreciate any help.

That's a pretty cool ambient lighting idea! Since I have one, I'd go the 3D printed route. If you don't then this is a good chance to rationalize getting one! 
Otherwise you might try some rubber D or F channel weather stripping. It's a bit hard to guess where you'd put it based on that picture, so I'd recommend just going to the window/door sealing section of a Lowes or Home Depot and look around to see what might fit. Another idea might be some translucent or channelized acrylic/plastic board cut to fit the LEDs. Would give you more of a glowing strip without the spot lighting.

Thank you so much! Exactly what I was looking for!
Yes, this ambient lighting seems necessary and is awesome. I attached a picture of the light at night. It illuminates the charging dock and center console perfectly. Thanks again!
