When I was shopping around for my Mustang, the glass roof model I drove had the aluminum dash. Even with the solar tint, the glare was bad. I have a TBI from Iraq, so I am very sensitive to bright light. I just couldn't deal with it. Even with the shade pulled over, I still didn't like it. If I were you, I'd order the dark dash. Barring that, order the carbon fiber look pieces and have them put them on before delivery.

thank u thank u thank u for the quick replies im not the only one then
i get retina burns easily and you guys know what i was saying so i somewhat feel better about the two combination..my 08 V6 has an IUP with brighter dash than the 2012 400A group, i think it looks okay from that picture you guys posted
is it true the GT 400A seating group has small swivels on the dash panels? (tiny circles) ...looking for a pic...

It's brushed so it's more like straight horizontal lines than swivels IMO.
And TOGAN, let's say your car does come in w/ too muce glare. You can order dash covers in tons of styles (hydrocarbon, carbon fiber, wood grain) so it wouldn't be that expensive to fix.

The Mustang in this picture is equipped with the 401A interior package, which has the dimple texture to the dash.
The 400A interior has a brushed aluminum finish.

Good luck man, who knows maybe theres one on a dealer lot near you with that configuration so you can test it out

I've got the glass roof and 400A interior. I've never noticed glare from the aluminum panels and have never had a passenger complain about it. I use Serengeti Drivers sunglasses and have found them very satisfactory for dealing with general road glare.

And on the pic, that is an interior of a 401. It has a grey tint to it. The 400 looks more like a dull metal.

This is a misconception a lot of people think. It is used because it is a composite that contains other fibers like kevlar, aluminum, and glass. The strength to weight ratio is unsurpassed, which is essential in high performance racing and it demands a very high cost because of these characteristics. As more manufactures continue to invest in Carbon Fiber, the price will go down and it will be available as much as fiberglass is today.

Im not sure strength to weight ratio really matters when its a dash kit.
If we are talking body panels, hood, etc...Im all for carbon fiber because it is lighter and stronger....but it's a little import-ish. If you go with it, paint it. Its good in small doses.....but can easily be overdone.
