Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T880 Interior Dash Trim

What years and models of Kenworth T880 are these dash trim pieces compatible with?

Our Kenworth T880 interior dash trim pieces are designed to fit 2013-present T880 models. However, compatibility can vary based on your specific cab configuration (day cab, sleeper, or vocational) and whether you have the standard or premium interior package. We recommend checking your VIN or contacting our support team with your truck's year and interior code to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

What materials are these dash trim pieces made from, and how durable are they?

Most of our T880 dash trim pieces are manufactured from high-grade ABS plastic with UV-resistant coatings to prevent fading and cracking. Chrome-finished pieces feature triple-plated chrome over ABS plastic for long-lasting shine. Wood grain options use real wood veneer or high-quality simulated wood grain depending on the product line. All materials are tested to withstand temperature extremes from -40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and maintain their appearance under normal trucking conditions.

How difficult is the installation process, and what tools will I need?

Installation difficulty varies by trim piece, but most dash trim components can be installed in 30-60 minutes with basic hand tools. You'll typically need a trim removal tool set, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and possibly a 7mm or 8mm socket. Some pieces use factory mounting points and clips, while others may require minor drilling for custom applications. Each product includes detailed instructions, and many pieces are direct replacements that snap into existing mounting locations without modifications.

What finish options are available, and how do I match my existing interior?

We offer several finish options including chrome, brushed aluminum, piano black, carbon fiber look, and various wood grains (walnut, oak, and burl wood). To match your existing interior, check the back of a removable trim piece for a part number or finish code. Kenworth uses specific codes like "Splendor" for their premium wood grain or "Prestige" for certain chrome packages. If you're unsure, our customer service team can help identify the correct finish based on photos of your current interior.

Will aftermarket dash trim void my warranty or affect resale value?

Installing aftermarket dash trim typically does not void your Kenworth warranty as these are cosmetic modifications that don't affect vehicle operation or safety systems. Most of our trim pieces are designed as direct replacements or additions that can be removed without leaving permanent marks. Many owner-operators find that quality interior upgrades actually enhance resale value by showing attention to maintenance and creating a more appealing cab environment for potential buyers.
