Types of Dash Trim Kits

Although there are some variations in the molding of car trim kits, many have similar components. Generally, the trim kit contains custom-molded pieces that are backed with two ply adhesive and have at their center the main material used, whether it was aluminum, wood, chrome, or fiber. On top of this, most are coated with a polyurethane protectant to keep the surface durable over time.

There are two main types of trim kits-flat trim kits, which are pre-manufactured for popular makes and models of vehicles, and molded trim kits, which are composed after measuring the car's interior components. The first type is usually a little less expensive, and is less work, but it may not fit so well, and it may not be available for your vehicle. The second type involves taking measurements of the car, but guarantees a great fit, including wrapping around on three dimensional pieces.

From there, there are several varieties of materials used, from traditional wood to aluminum, chrome, carbon fiber, and molded wood. As more people order these for their cars, the selection seems to increase by the day, but in the name of decency, most car trim kits are colored in advance to the car manufacturer's specifications. Considering the joys of customization, it might be worth shopping around and seeing what options are available for your vehicle.
