A method of manufacturing a vehicle trim component is provided that includes disposing a fiber panel (44) onto a first surface (38) of a mold cavity (40). The method also includes compressing the fiber panel between the first surface and a second surface of the mold cavity to form the fiber panel into a desired shape. The method further includes injecting resin into the mold cavity to fill at least one void (52, 54, 62) between the first surface and the second surface adjacent to the fiber panel.
