The Saturn dashboard is one of the often customized part of the vehicle. It sits prominently inside the front end of the car interior, conspicuous to both passengers and cabin gunk. At the same time that the Saturn dashboard is ever visible to passengers, it is likewise exposed to the gunk and grime that stand to tarnish the sleek finish of the Saturn interior. Saturn owners typically resort to the aftermarket dash trims and moldings to protect and customize the car interior. A set of Saturn dash trim is commonly made of either wood or molded plastic. Because the dashboard of a Saturn differs from those of other Saturn makes, a dash trim is vehicle-specific. It is “formed” on the contours of a particular Saturn model. From the speedometer to the radio bezel and door switch, the Saturn dash trim covers the sharp angles and corners of the dashboard, pretty much like an overlay.

Saturn dash trims available in the car industry's aftermarket segment include flat fit, molded 3D fit, and factory match dash trim sets. Flat fit Saturn dash trims attach directly to the top surface of the dashboard. It is usually a wood overlay that fits to the flat contour of the interior. Made from real wood veneers and factory-approved simulated wood, carbon fiber, and metallic-look materials, the flat fit Saturn dash trim is a peel-and-stick trim set that provides the easiest way to customize the dashboard. The molded 3D trim, on the other hand, is shaped to fit sharp angles and corners. It is made from world-standard synthetic materials and has a UV protected finish. Available in a slew of rich wood look, walnut, and burl finishes, and additional synthetic finishes like carbon fiber, brushed aluminum, satin nickel, among others, the molded Saturn dash trim come as either stand-alone or extended trim kits that include a combination of both molded and flat pieces.

Aside from the simulated wood finish, both the flat and 3D fit Saturn dash trims are available in factory match sets. They can be customized to be of the same color dominant in the existing Saturn interior setup. Made from interwoven real carbon fiber, the factory match Saturn dash trim provides a durable and high gloss UV protected finish. It is composed of molded and flat Saturn dash trims to cover the varying contours of the car dashboard. These Saturn dash trims do not require tools for installation. They come with mounts specific for Saturn makes, and are precision fit so that no Saturn dash board components need to be removed to install the trim.
