Default Leather dash with default stitching

Hey
I debating if I should go with normal dash vs leather dash with grey default stitch
does it cause reflection in glass.
Or should I just stay with default vinyl dash.
thanks

I have had vinyl, leather with gray and leather with red. I personally prefer the leather as it just looks so much nicer. Never had any issue with reflection or distraction.

I have yellow stitching. Reflection has never been an issue.
Leather is not a must IMO. I never go 'I love my leather dash' when I'm driving. I do appreciate them when I stop though.

My 2013 Cayenne GTS leather dash started bubbling up after 4 years. I remember brining it up with my service advisor and his one question "did you park it under the sun?"

To be clear, are you talking about the leather dash that comes with the leather interior or the additional leather that comes with the extended leather option?

Option extended leather dash.
when you don't choose the default dash it's a vinyl material I believe.

One Billion percent leather.
Not only the rubber dash looks cheap, when fitted terribly, they look even extra-cheap...

I had extended leather in my GT4 with red stitching... looked great. Didn't go with it on the dash on my GT3...and don't really miss it. Sometimes things are too busy for me with different finishes, materials, stitching, colors, etc. Not so concerned about reflection issues, just a clean spartan look works this time around on the dash. I find it more durable and uniform.

...but a leather steering wheel was a must-have for me.
