TMI Products Selects the 4th Winner of Its 2025 TRIM Road Tour

Designer and manufacturer of custom automotive interiors, TMI Products, announced the fourth winner 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.

Scott Cerreta’s 1970 Custom El Camino

The recipient of the fourth trophy of the TMI Road Tour series, chosen by TMI judges Jason Mulligan and Marcel Venable at TMI’s Cars and Clearance event in Corona, California, on Aug. 23, was Scott Cerreta’s 1970 El Camino. This Elko featured a complete TMI interior, including a pair of Pro Sport Low Back seats, using the “AR” insert pattern in black, and covered in OE-style blue metallic vinyl. Matching the seats were a pair of modified TMI molded door panels, originally intended for a Chevelle application.

The highlight of Cerreta’s build was the excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail, which could be spotted throughout the interior, TMI officials stated in a press release. A one-off headliner, matching the TMI AR pattern, was commissioned, and an aftermarket center console melds a modern interface and the classic upper dash into a functional and aesthetically pleasing package. Folding the front seats forward reveals the heart of the custom audio system.

The 1970 El Camino is a Modern Classic

The badge-less body is painted in the contemporary Toyota Cement color, and all the trim has been finished in satin black. The chassis uses a Savitske Classic and Customs Touring Package, with 1-inch lowering springs and 17-inch American Classic Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in Nitto NT555 G2 rubber. LED lighting with Diode Dynamics Switchback Halos contributes to the modern flair, noted the release.

A fuel-injected 420-horsepower BluePrint SBC 350 Gen II engine breathes through a 2.5-inch exhaust and is mated to a TCI Street Fighter TH400 Transmission with a Gear Vendors Over/Under drive. The Chevy 10-bolt houses Yukon axles and a Yukon Posi with 3.73 gearing.

Last Chance to Win a TRIM Award

The Triple Crown of Rodding in Nashville, Tennessee, (Sept. 5-6, 2025) is the last stop for the 2025 TRIM Road Tour, so TMI says it’s not too late to bring your vehicle out for a final chance at taking home some hardware and maybe even a trip to the SEMA Show in November.
