I was wondering if anyone have though of getting the plastic dash wrapped in leather for a more premium look and to get rid of the dash reflecting onto the glass.

so something like this.

Our VF has been pretty good for reflections etc.
You could get it done (or do it yourself) ... but leather's pretty shiny too. And there's a lot of maintenance involved in keeping leather that cops full-strength UV in the face.

In our severe climate putting leather under the front windscreen exposed to full sun is not a great idea.

Make a dash mat out of leather and see how long it lasts!
