any solid color dashes out there?

laying out ideas for my paint scheme for the 58. I see lots of two tone dashes and i do like them. Planning on doing a white cream color interior and thought about it being solid for the dash. I do plan accent color for door panels and seats. Any pics of solid color dashes out there? White dashes?

Might want to think about sun glare with a light colored dash, the reflection in the windshield will be hard to see thru.

Re: any solid color dashes out there?

Mine originally was dark blue on top and white across the front. Rest of the cab was tan/beige with white surrounding the back window. This time I am going with Silver Birch a stock GM color. If it has too much glare I am going to get a fabric dash cover. Seats and accents are Medium Pewter leather.

Not worried about glare so much, I wear sunglasses. Lol
No,really I want it to look classic and show off the new chrome pieces.

Call me simple minded, but I just dont think anything looks as clean as a black interior.

Sorry for the pics, I don't really have a strait dash shot on hand
