Porsche has actually put a little warning on their site about cars with sand beige dashboards. Something to the effect of "some drivers report excessive glare - test drive before buying." If sunglasses don't help, or removing high sheen treatments, you might consider some type of aftermarket black dash cover.

FYI - it's not a problem for me with savanna beige on my 986.

WoW….. grc0456 is correct, I did a search and there is a class action lawsuit against Porsche over beige colored dashboards being dangerous, beige reflections causing temporary blindness, etc. I certainly can support their claim because the reflection is horrible in my car, very disappointing.

And Porsche’s response, they can’t control the sun. Doubly disappointing.

Just one problem with Porsche’s defense, I see the images when I’m running down a canopied country road, and I see images on cloudy days.

Porsche’s response is unsatisfactory.
