Wrap dash in white vinyl?

anybody wrap their dash in white vinyl? I want to see what it would look like. Obviously, this would be a cheaper alternative to painting which is why I am bringing this up!

Um...no...reason why is because of the direct sunlight reflecting it off the white dash and onto the windshield. All you will see is your nice bright white dash on your window.

That is actually the main reason why Toyota/Subaru decided to make it the "grippy" black rubber material... Unlike other hard plastic, it doesn't shine and reflect as bad.


Unless...you are talking about the dash trim pieces...if that's the case, then go right ahead...

Nice! Have you thought about wrapping the other silver pieces in white to match? Shifter ring, knew pad, door handles
