Corona, California – September 18, 2025 – TMI Products, the leader in custom automotive interiors, has announced the fifth and overall winners of the 2025 TRIM Road Tour. The TRIM Road Tour is a multi-stop competition that spotlights the best TMI-equipped vehicles from across the nation, leading up to the TMI Products TRIM Awards at the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Deluxe Dually

Bookending the five-stop 2025 TRIM Road Tour was the fifth and final Road Tour winner, Tennessee resident Michael Smalls, who was chosen during the Triple Crown of Rodding event held in Nashville, Tennessee September 5th and 6th. Smalls’ amazing teal 1965 custom C10 dually featured a TMI Pro Series Deluxe Bench Seat covered in premium brown distressed vinyl with black contrast stitch and buck tan inserts with premium Double Diamond Stitch. Smalls continued the theme throughout the rest of the interior by using the same materials on his custom door panels, dash pad, and very custom speaker box on the rear cab wall that doubles as a gun rack. Two revolvers and a shotgun are tastefully integrated and mount flush into the panel.

Over All

After careful deliberation, the TMI TRIM judges (Kevin Oeste, Sara Moroson, Theresa Contreras, Sean Holman, Marcel Venable and Jason Mulligan) looked at all five of the 2025 TRIM Road Tour winners, and agreed that this year’s overall trophy should be awarded to Ruben Terraza’s custom 1968 C10, the second-stop winner, from the Texas C10 Nationals. Terraza’s C10 is a true showstopper, featuring a full TMI interior with some design elements that have never utilized before in a TMI Interior. The VXR insert pattern is carried throughout the build and uses two different colors of vinyl plus a micro-suede for the VXR insert with black grommets. The builder liked the insert pattern so much, that he had his interior shop make matching inserts that were used as floor mats plus his headliner too.

These impressive details caught the eye of C10 Nationals TRIM judge Chris Baker who commented, “We all really liked the interior, as it had some design elements that we’ve never seen in a TMI Interior, it had two different browns, plus a micro-suede for the VXR insert with black grommets.”

Destination Vegas

Terraza earns an invite to the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada (November 4-7, 2025) and a Top 20 finalist spot at the TMI Products’ Trim Awards event, a pass to the SEMA Show, a feature parking spot at the SEMA Show, and a five-night hotel stay during the event.
