Corona, California – August 22, 2024 – TMI Products, the leader in custom automotive interiors, has announced both the fifth winner and tour champion of the 2024 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 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
TMI Products awarded the company’s fifth and final 2024 TRIM Road Tour winner at the TMI Products Cars and Clearance Event at the TMI Headquarters in Corona, California on August 17, 2024. Judges chose Steve Swanson’s gorgeous 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. Swanson, who hails from Murrieta, California, had a nearly complete TMI Interior, with a color scheme he chose himself.
Starting off with the popular Low Back Seats in the Sport-R1000 pattern wrapped in gray leather with charcoal gray insert and maroon stripes, he built the entire interior around this theme, and even decided on the Candy Maroon exterior paint, applied by Motech Performance in Murrieta, California, to compliment his interior.
With the final five in place, judges decided to bestow the champion title on Jim McKay of Havasu, Arizona and owner of Lakeside Speed & Shine. McKay, with his 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, was the winner of the first stop at the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, California on February 4, 2024. Jim drove five hours to be at the Cars and Clearance to once again show off his full TMI interior, which uses a pair of Pro Grand seats with the Sport GT pattern. In fact, his color scheme was inspired by Ken Johnson’s Boosted Nova.
McKay will now head to the 2024 SEMA Show (November 5-8, 2024) as the TMI Road Tour Champion, with his Chevelle earning a spot into the TMI TRIM Awards’ Top 20 vehicles at the SEMA Show. McKay will be competing alongside some of the best builds from all over the country.
The winners of the TMI TRIM Award’s nine class trophies and the Best of Show Champion from the 2024 SEMA Show will receive an invitation to attend the 2025 Barrett-Jackson Cup in Scottsdale, AZ.
