If your dashboard looks like it's seen better days, then you're in the right place. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know before ordering your DashSkin, ensuring that you make an informed purchase and give your vehicle's dashboard a fresh, new look.
Compatibility Check
1. Center Speaker
First, check the center of your dashboard:
- Locate the Center of Your Dash: Look directly above your radio. Is there a center speaker present in this location? Confirming the presence of this speaker is essential for ensuring that the DashSkin will fit your vehicle properly.
2. Door Jam Sticker
Next, verify the details on your door jam sticker:
- Open the Driver's Side Door: Look at the door jam where you will find a black sticker with white print.
-
Find the Relevant Codes: In the bottom left corner of the sticker, you’ll see “C sltr” followed by two codes. Focus on the second code, which starts with either "FA" or "L". This code indicates your dashboard's color, which is crucial for selecting the correct DashSkin color.
