Unexpected glare from the instrument panel has the potential to blind you while driving thru winding roads in bright sunlight. The curvature of the lower right and left corners of the panel needs to be made of a non-glare material. I am going to place something in each corner to keep them from reflecting the sun back in anyone's eyes.
