Where is the trim color code???
I have an AeroForce scan gauge ordered and I want to get some paint or dye for my pod to match my medium parchment interior. Where's the code located?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I just went and checked mine. I have a manufacture (VIN, GVWR, ect.) sticker located at the bottom of the "B" pillar on the drivers side door. my interior trim says LH.

check out this link. Its not my vehicle, but should show you the right direction.
I read the small print above the picture, and it says some may not show trim code. Maybe then someone can help you through the vin.

I've redone almost all of my interior pieces with the trim dye. In each case, my paint supply place had me bring in a piece to match. They wouldn't use the trim color code and even if they did, they said it would not match as well. I am super happy with the results BTW, came out perfect.
Which pod mount are you getting? one for the pillar? If so, pop off your old pillar and have them match it.
Here is my dash pod and 2005-07 SD dash that I painted to match the original EX dash trim color:

What did you do to prep your pieces before you dyed them? Any suggestions? I assume you spray the dye on? The autoparts had some pressurized spray canisters for $5. I drove my Ex today to work so hopefully I can get out in time to hit the auto parts before they close today.
I still can't find a certification label with the code.
Thanks.

All vehicles should have a sticker from the manufacture unless it was removed. It maybe under the hood. FYI. good luck with the project.
I would try to take a piece and have them match it as said above. I ordered mine from a reliable company and it was still a little off. May have been from years of the sunlight or whatever.

Your dash looks nice. I remember seeing those pics a while back. I have a single pod to go below the grab handle. I got the Autometer one and have to say the fit could not be better. My AeroForce gauge is shipping out today.
What did you do to prep your pieces before you dyed them? Any suggestions? I assume you spray the dye on? The autoparts had some pressurized spray canisters for $5. I drove my Ex today to work so hopefully I can get out in time to hit the auto parts before they close today.

The dye does not cover well... it will take several light coats, but it dries very fast.
Good luck! Post pics of the results when you get it done.
