Dodge Charger interior aluminum trim
challenge
•Develop complex aluminum trim piece with critical registration
solution
The Northern Engraving engineering team pushed the boundaries of the depth of draw as well as overall size of the trim piece. The base model features a micro weave pattern that takes advantage of a selective brush as well as texture. Adding to the complexity, tight register was held in order to create a bright aluminum bead outlining the trim piece.
Utilizing the same tooling, additional finishes were chosen to differentiate looks across the Charger line. The carbon fiber finish combines brushing, printing and texture to create movement. Engine Turn combined with a transparent dark tint was used for an elegant take on a classic finish. Lastly, a technical finish layering a transparent tint and selective texture creates a stunning real metal trim piece for the interior.
