    Yeah I was trying for that but I couldnt find any matte finish overlay. And all the tint I found was shiny. But the finish is no more shiny than the OBC display or the radio display.

      Ok so if you guys want to do this but dont want to spend the $15 for the roll of tint let me know. I have a ton of it now and I will send you enough to do your cluster plus some. Free, no charge, Just send me your address and I will drop the tint in an envelope and shoot it out. No worries!

        Update. 5% tint is to dark in my opinion. I will buy the 15% or 20% and try that instead. With the 5% I can see the light through the tint at night but not during the day. I will update soon.

          Ok I did the 20% today and it is what I was looking for all along. In direct light you can barely see the dummy icons but in the shade of the dash they are not visible. Light comes through well enough to see the warning lights before its to late. I would post pics but the pics look exactly like the last pics. 20% FTW

          P.S. I have a lot of tint left over. If you want some to do your cluster send me your address and I will cut you some to do yours.
