Polarized sunglasses will make that disappear along with learning to live with it. You won't even notice it after awhile. I've had mine three years and don't even notice it anymore.

Those reflections would be a PITA while driving down the road.

The aluminium trim is super annoying, my first mod was CF overlays on the silver to get rid of the glare. That bright silver right over the mirror makes driving just that much more difficult.

This Dead Horse won't die
First, all interiors no matter the car brand that have huge severely slanted windshields and dashboards the size of a football field create some reflections in the windshield. Every car every day. But true this, lighter colors show on tinted windshield more than a black dash. Still there that you don't see as easily. But it shows up nonetheless. Second, there is an easy fix. Wear polarized sunglasses. Here is the best news. Wearing polarized sunglasses will absolutely save your eyes from all manner of sun related damage. Doesn't that seem like a worthy goal? Does to me. So buy some sexy polarized Ray Bans for your eyes and you will get no glare for free.
And just maybe in those alluring Brad Pitt shades your wife will............

I don't even notice them any more. With sunglasses they pretty much disappear, and even without the suns my brain just tunes them out.

Hardly unique to Vettes... any particular series. That's why there are Polarized lenses.

I have a similar problem at night.
My interior is a 3lz with carbon fiber along the “hockey stick”.
On the hwy at night the lamp poles reflect off the carbon and onto to the windshield.
it’s super annoying.

I have the same complaint. I posted about it in another thread.

Really annoying. And no, I'm not wearing sunglasses, and probably won't "just get used to it".

The sun isn't in my eyes, there's no reason to put another piece of material in-between my eyes and the road. The same as wearing a hat inside!

That is the only reason I got the black interior. I like the look of the color contrasting interiors, but the reflected contrast is distracting. The black also gives a reflection, but it is uniform and doesn’t stand out.

I have the 3LT natural and I'm not sure why mine isn't as reflective as yours. I mean it's there but I honestly don't even notice it at all when I drive. Yours seems more prominent than mine.
