Interiors & Exterior Trims
Interior/Exterior Plastic Trim Products (IP, Console, Door, Bumpers, and Pillar Trims)
Project History:
Di-Vinci provided complete engineering support for passenger vehicle Interior/Exterior Trim Product development for a global Tier-1 automotive supplier. The project involved detailed design, packaging integration, and manufacturing feasibility for multiple sub-components of respective systems while ensuring compliance with OEM standards and program timelines.
The engineering team delivered cost-effective design solutions with a fast turnaround, supporting the customer in meeting critical development milestones.
Customer:Global Tier-1 Automotive Supplier
Vehicle Segment:Passenger Vehicle Platform
Instrument Panel & Console
At Vinci Innovative, we create instrument panel and console solutions that exceed a diverse set of customer and industry standards. Among the most complex to create and implement, each solution is designed and engineered with unique components and features needed to achieve customer goals. We engineer in sequence full instrument panel assemblies and consoles allowing automakers greater design and component variability.
We also create complete cockpit systems that are designed, engineered, manufactured, and assembled using proprietary technologies to create hard- and soft-touch surfaces, as well as cut-and-sewn leather.
Door Trims
Door panels serve as an interface between the interior of the car and the inner workings of the door, and between vehicle occupants and the door. They are expected to meet a variety of design specifications regarding safety, aesthetics, and functionality.
- Front & Rear Door Trims
- All Pillar Trims
- Sunroof Trims
- Scuff Plate
Pillars and Hard Trims
Trims are the plastic parts installed on the inside and outside of a car. The interior trims are usually used for giving the aesthetic look to the interior of the car. There are various types of trims used in automobiles
Functionality and aesthetically pleasing trim applications are crucial factors for a perfect interior experience and successful vehicle sales. The selection, design, and processing of plastics solutions for interior trim components are very important for consumers when making their purchase decisions.
Bumpers
Vinci Innovative has your back! We offer the strongest Rear Bumper Replacements on the market. The trademark diamond tread matches all Vinci Innovative Truck accessories, so you are guaranteed the quality but the stellar reputation of this brand. Comes in a diamond plate finish to match our Pro front bumpers. Our design is unmatched when it comes to safety, towing capacity, and full body coverage while also allowing easy access to factory installed features.
Another improvement is the integration of massage into vehicle seats. They’re beneficial to drivers and passengers alike, especially those who take long road trips. Needless to say, massage chairs help improve blood circulation, relieve back pain, and reduce stress.
