Question 2014 Impala LTZ -Black Badges/Interior?

Hi, I'm a new member and looking at purchasing a 2014 Black Impala. I am hoping to get some advice on a few things.
First, i'm thinking of getting the Mojave leather interior, but I'm worried about it showing that light color showing wear compared to getting black, and also sun glare on the Mojave?
Also, I'd like to customize the car a little, and get ride of the the "gold bowtie" badges on the front and back, and get it replaced with Black badges. I've seen some on Amazon and ebay, but wanted to check with the forum to get advice.

I watched some youtube video reviews - and there was mention of mojave sun glare I believe. Even there is a complaint @ nhsta for it. The grey isn't bad for reflection. That's what I have, so I can't really comment on the mojave personally. Plus I use polarized len's when driving to cut down on any glare.

You could use that plasti-dip stuff to cover the badges. There's an GM after market addon for cutting down on all the metal on the grill with another color. I guess you could plasti-dip that instead.

My 2LTZ is the Diamond White with the black/Mojave interior.

Looks sharp as hell with the black contrast stitching and black buttons.

Looked at an all black interior. Looks good but does not have the same look as the two tone.

When we got our 2014 2LTZ, we first tried out several different color combinations. The mojave had a lot of sun reflection for us, and as mentioned the gray wasn't as bad, but we ended up going with the Charcoal/Black for that precise reason.

No glare on ours.

Did have the clear 3M coating put on the inside of the windshield and of course tint all around.

Looks good either way.

Can you be more specific as to which clear 3M "coating"?

Google returning several different products.

This stuff?

3M
