Hey Amalgam do you experience any glares with the beige dash? I like the beige but considering two tones to decrease glare. Thanks.

Yes, I see glare (i.e. refection of the dash onto the windshield) but it doesn't bother me at all when daily driving. I guess tracking on the other hand could be a nuisance (I haven't tracked my car yet). I bought a pair of polarized sunglasses and glare goes down to ~5%. 2 accessories you need for a cab are a hat and a pair of polarized shades...

Is nighttime reflection ever an issue?

I'd have to agree with others here. While the wood looks nice enough, it seems like it would fit better in an Audi or BMW than a Porsche. These are sports cars, not luxury yachts.

Not at all for me. Only day time, mostly on sunny days.

One of the most beautiful cars I ever saw was a Dark Olive Green 997 with Natural Brown Leather and a few bits of wood (Mahogany?) on the dash. Loved it then and still do although I do have some reservations about wood looking a bit dated and out of place in a modern car. Its not nearly as out of place as say carbon fiber (which is great as a component but gimmicky as can be when used for trim) and it is natural just like the leather we all still love so much. But still....

And anyway, where are the pictures? I thought this was supposed to be for pictures?! The few that are here look great. Let's have some more!

Don't have any pics, but have the wood trim across the dash, on the console and also on the shift ****. I think looks great.
