GoCode is explicit about this and we agree: fitting the trim first lets the wall and ceiling panels land against the trim flanges, which is what produces the factory-looking joint. You can install these kits after the panels are up, but it requires modifications and additional labour, and the joints never look as clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I paint or upholster it myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The parts are ABS, so they take an adhesion-promoting plastic primer and then any automotive topcoat. If you would rather not, order the Matte variant, which is finished in SEM Ultra-Black to kill the shine, or one of the upholstered variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this enough on its own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends what is bothering you. If your walls already die cleanly into the cab area and only the ceiling transition looks wrong, yes. If the styrofoam blobs at the top corners are still exposed, you want the Front Trim Kit, which adds the B-pillar shells that cover them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairs well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/marathon-tweed-fabric\"\u003eMarathon Tweed Fabric\u003c\/a\u003e — the same fabric used on the upholstered options, sold by the yard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/van-life-parts\"\u003eVan conversion trim and finishing parts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold and shipped by Campervan Parts R Us, the parts counter of Noke Van Co. — a working van conversion shop in Roanoke, Virginia.
