Hey, does anyone know the name and where I can get a new trim piece for the silver plastic piece that runs on the front of the dash.
Thanks.

If you decide to go vinyl wrap be warned if you decide to remove it you will be left with glue.
However clean up is easy with eucalyptus oil.
To make it easier to wrap around corners use a hair dryer or heat gun on the vinyl and it goes round real easy

The scratches are too deep for vinyl to look good

Maybe some filler and a new paint job, or wrap?
How did they get damaged?

They can get scratched by feet, different cleaning cloths that you use etc.

I'm not sure I recently got the car and it was like that and I hate it.

If you look around some wreckers, you can find some different ones on different models
Otherwise you can always just wrap it or paint it.

Can vouch for wrapping it improving the look. I had some scraches and a massive paint gauge out of mine and wrapping it covered everything! Wrapping that whole piece is a really difficult job though (i found anyway)

If anyone put their feet on my dash I'd politely ask them to walk the frak home!
I'm been lazy but want to wrap or use plastic-dip on my, including the door trip for a new look!
