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 dash kits are made for trucks and SUV’s that have large rounded-edge dash panels. Flat dash 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.
Molded dash kits are pre formed at the factory to fit the shape and contour of your dash. The pieces arrive to you 3 dimensional, and mold around corners, sides, and edges to give a more OEM factory look. Flat dash kits are called “flat” because they arrive as flat pieces. They are flexible when warmed, and will curve to the shape of the dash, but in only one direction, and are capable of doing only the facing surface. Some kits include a combination of both flat and molded pieces.
