Can I install the dash trim kit myself?

You certainly can! Simply use our easy step-by-step instructions for installation. Almost all of our customers perform the installation by themselves. Please read through all of the instructions before you begin. If you require any form of assistance installing the dashboard kit, please call our customer service.

What is the difference between flat and molded dash kits?

Molded dash kits are 3D formed to precisely fit the shape of your contoured dash pieces. The molded pieces curve around the edges of the factory dash. Usually molded dashboard kits are made for trucks and SUV’s that have large rounded-edge dash panels. Flat dash trim kits are more common. They have flat pieces that go on flat or slightly curved dash surfaces. When flat pieces are warmed, they become flexible and curve to the shape of the dash. Some kits are a combination of flat and molded pieces.

What should I do if I damage a piece during installation?

Though the kits are designed for a trouble-free installation, it is still possible to run into problems. If this should happen, email us for assistance at 1-718-676-2080. Our team of trained and experienced representatives will be glad to assist you. In order for us to help you as quickly as possible, please have the diagram code, finish color, and the damaged part number on hand. In case the part has to be replaced, we will exchange it for a small charge depending on the part that was damaged. For real wood finishes, you will be asked to mail us the damaged piece to insure the exact color match of the replacement part.

Can I remove the trim after installation?

Our trim products are designed to be permanent. If you remove the dash trim, you will need to install another trim kit in its place.

How long does it take to get the dash kit?

Items that are in stock at the time of the order and that are paid for with a credit card will be shipped the next business day. For quick, safe, and convenient service, we use FedEx, USPS, & UPS shipping. Custom dash kits, or kits that are not currently in stock, will require approximately 6-9 business days to be shipped. Please refer to our Shipping and Ordering section for more information.

How do I choose from so many finish types?

Our trained staff has years of experience installing dash kits and we can assist you in making the best choice for your vehicle’s interior. To narrow the choices, decide between straight-grain wood finish and burled wood finish. If you want your dash kit to stand out and be noticed, choose a light-colored wood for a dark interior or a dark-colored wood for a light interior. For a trim kit to blend in, choose a light color for a light interior and dark one for a dark interior. In general, gray-toned or black interiors fit well with red tone woods and tan interiors go well with brown and orange tone woods. Carbon fibers and silver-tone finishes generally fit with gray and black interiors.

Will the new kit match with the factory installed wood in my car?

Many vehicles come with partially installed factory wood. When looking for a dash kit for your vehicle’s model, you will see the Factory Match kits that are especially designed to complement the existing wood in your vehicle. We will provide you with the closest match to your original wood dash.
