Trim Package





(AMC) Spirit models.]]

Typical elements that may be included in a trim package include:

  • Special paint, some with the appearance of Pearl , others showing color variations depending upon light angle.

  • Paint patterns using multiple colors—''two tone'' or ''three tone'' (out of current favor).

  • Aluminum , Plastic , or Stainless Steel trim to divide paint regions (out of current favor).

  • Applied graphics on printed plastic sheeting with adhesive backing, usually rather gaudy.

  • Pin Striping —usually applied as a Dealer add-on using special plastic tape and a removable backing.

  • Plastic bumpers painted the same color as the vehicle body, rather than a matte black (now mostly included in the base level vehicle)

  • Plastic rub strips to reduce paint and metalwork damage from adjacent car doors that are carelessly opened.

  • Interior upholstery materials specific to the package. Leather in whole or part is often used in high end trim packages.

  • Wood patterned plastic or applied surfaces in the interior or exterior. Applied surfaces are out of current favor as they require careful design and application and lack translucency.

  • Genuine wood trim—rare but used in some high end applications.

  • Exterior Vinyl Roof covers, simulating the appearance of a Convertible (out of current favor).

  • Padded plastic top additions to simulate a removable top portion—a '' Landau Top '' (out of current favor).
