Trim pieces for siding include an anchor trim piece and an exterior face piece. The anchor trim piece has a mounting portion for mounting to a structure and an interlocking portion. The mounting portion is perpendicular to the interlocking portion. The exterior trim piece has a first exterior face portion and an interlocking portion. The interlocking portion is generally transverse to the exterior face portion. The exterior trim piece interlocking portion is resilient and has a cooperating geometry with the anchor trim piece interlocking portion such that the exterior trim piece is enabled to be assembled with the anchor trim piece by engaging the exterior trim piece interlocking portion with the anchor trim piece interlocking portion. The anchor trim piece interlocking portion is perpendicular to the plane defined by the first exterior face portion when the exterior trim piece and anchor trim piece are assembled together.
