Molded Dash Kits - These items have a part number that start with "MD" such as MD-CTBT00A and are 3D & 2D formed to precisely fit the shape of your contoured dash pieces. The 3D molded pieces curve around the edges of the factory dash, while the 2D pieces work the same way as a flat kit. Usually molded dash kits are made for trucks and SUV's that have large rounded-edge dash panels. Molded kits can be ordered with a flat kit so you can have molded and flat kit combination. The kits that compliment the molded kits start with a part number "AD" such as AD-CTBT00A.
