Changing out the trim around the radio (Picture)

There are some really good how to videos, but for those who just need to see a picture of "what is in there", I figured I would share.

 

Anxiety activated.

Cant wait to see finished product.

 

You did all this to change out the radio trim?

 

It actually looks way worse than it was. It goes back together way faster than it came apart. The only wrinkle was that my wife came out right after that picture was taken. The truck was 2 weeks old and she had no idea that I was doing that. It had a bit of a shock factor...

 

Props!

How did that conversation go?

 

Yes. I don't know what you call the gray piece that goes around the radio that has the vents in it. It snaps in underneath all of the other dash pieces.

 

All I can see is that beautiful leather steering wheel... Nice to see they are finally putting some of the luxury options in their most expensive truck.

 

Avoided. My kids were encouraging me to do the swap and when they saw mom about to hyperventilate, they distracted her for 30 minutes so I could snap things together.

 

Here was the result of this very first step:

 

Wow! Drastically different look by changing 1 piece out. Well done

Also, you trained your kids well

 

When i think radio trim i was thinking the silver stuff around radio.....where did you get these pieces...looks good.

 

Looks great. I did the same thing and my wife was just like yours.

 

Got them from Sparks. Given the size of the piece and the fact you have to remove most of the dash to swap it, I went with OEM. I am going to paint/wrap other pieces that are easier to access.

 

Do you have part number i cannot find them

 

Center panel is 55405-0C020-C1

 

It comes with two black vents. The far left and right vents can easily be changed later, but you will want to decide on the center vents before you pull everything apart. (They are on the bottom layer)
