Trim Awards Presented by TMI Products

Every year, automotive enthusiasts convene in Las Vegas for the SEMA Show to experience the finest builds and most creative designs in the automotive world. As difficult as it may be, many of the most talented gearheads and enthusiasts seek out defining examples of the crème de la crème during the event to bestow coveted awards to their creators.

TMI’s TRIM Award is established to signify vehicles with exemplary interiors utilizing TMI products during the 2022 SEMA event.

TMI Products has established itself as a leader in the automotive custom interior industry and, for this year’s event, has established several award categories to signify cars with exemplary interiors utilizing TMI products. Each individual category winner will receive a $500 voucher, and the Best of Show Champion will receive a certificate for a complete interior for their next build (value of $8,000) that can be used to purchase TMI interior products for a future build. The awards will be given away on-stage in the TMI Booth, located in the Central Hall, booth #24477, at 12:00 PM on Wednesday. Winners need to be present during the awards ceremony in order to accept their trophies.

TMI is the leader in creating complete interior components that are ready to install. We want to recognize all the hard work SEMA vehicle builders have put forth in creating these visual masterpieces. -Ross Berlanga, TMI Products
