Installed my filter the other day and you can see the difference with the lack of reflection in the windshield (and it seems brighter overall). Ignore my ugly mug.

Looks great! How do you have it mounted and can you see it when driving?
As mentioned, I have a polarized filter waiting to go on that should reduce the dash glare you see on the windshield. When I get a chance, I'll do some comparison with and without...
If you want to save a little over the other two you were thinking, I'd certainly consider getting the Garmin Dashcam 55 (I originally had the 45 and the 55 is worth the $50 difference IMO).
Not to hijack this thread, but here is my setup for those that are curious:
Edited since the original...
I have a Garmin Dashcam 55 and love it. I have the parking cable in my car so I can record when my car is parked. It uses a magnetic mount, so it's super easy to swap into my wife's car if we take it on longer trips. I love the voice control because I can verbally tell it to save a recording...
Give your dealership a call and ask. I know the Ford Fusions had issues with their black wheels peeling and they were swapping them out with new ones.
And on the bright side, your wheels are black so it's easy enough to touch up until you are ready to go aftermarket.
Have you tried spraying a quick detailer or spray wax on there, lightly agitate it and see if it wipes off? Even a little vineger might do the trick.
If that doesn't do a thing, I would first try a clay bar before you do a polish. I'm sure that's a small spot, so you should able to work it...
Good thing about the Garmin unit is, it has a magnetic mounting point. So when you go in for an inspection, just unplug and pull the camera off. I can post up what it'd look like if you want.
However, you might be onto something with modifying the existing housing to allow better room for...
I have the Garmin Dashcam 55 and it was very easy to install in my Lincoln MKS and you'd never know it was there. However, my wife's CR-V had no real place to mount it for the same reason you show above and I ended up putting it dead in the center under the mirror. I see about half the camera...
Tell us how you did it because at some point in the future, someone is going to Google the same question, come across this thread and you'll have an answer for them.
I totally understand it can dull the surface, but a few light passes will not remove the surface. Most likely you'll have to polish out the surface once done and all is well in the world.
Tell you what. I have a black car and I plan to polish/coat it this weekend if time allows and I'll...
Why is that? I used a magic eraser on my wife's car because there were some light scratches I couldn't clean out and a quick pass of that with light pressure did the trick. If the eraser removes what the OP wants and he follows up with a polish after, I see no issues.
Might try giving a magic eraser a shot.

I don't have a Mustang, but I do have a Livernois tuned 2012 Lincoln MKS and couldn't be happier. Ran a 13.3 in +3250 DA weighing 4670lbs (I'm 175lbs) and a week ago, put the hurt on my friends 2016 Chevy SS sedan from a dig up to around 70 when we both had to let off (I was 1.5 cars ahead)...
