Default 996 Windshield Issues....

Is it just me or does the speaker and dashboard texture reflection in the windshield really get in the way of seeing the road clearly???
Does anyone else notice this or am I crazy? If you did what did you do to minimize it?

Now I'm staring at the speaker reflection in the window and my OCD has kicked in, thanks

LOL. The first step is admitting you have a problem

I guess it's time to refill my Prozac Pez dispenser.

I think "I crazy" is the salient portion of this quote.

I've noticed a big difference based on the products used on the dash (Armor All, 303, Meguiars, etc.). If it's a shiny finish, then I find it really distracting.

The second definition of crazy is "extremely enthusiastic"

I haven't used any special products to clean it besides the old wet rag and it only really stands out when the sun is bright but it gets pretty annoying..

Could a very light tint make it go away?
